A father and his 23-year-old daughter were injured during a home invasion in Hazelmere, KwaZulu-Natal, on Sunday evening. Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) responded to the scene around 8:29 p.m., where it was reported that two armed suspects had forced their way into the home and held a family of three at gunpoint.

During the robbery, the attackers pistol-whipped the man and stabbed his daughter in the back before stealing an undisclosed amount of cash, a laptop, a TV, and cellphones. The suspects then fled in a white Renault Triber with unknown registration plates.

Both injured victims were later taken to the hospital in a private vehicle for treatment.
