They unplugged the television, demanded two cellphones and left the house,” said Muthan.
The second incident happened after 9pm in Ext 4. “Three black males – two armed with firearms and one with a knife – threatened the occupants of the house.
They robbed them of three watches, four cellphones and an undisclosed amount of cash,” Muthan reported.
