Mom and daughter under fire in driveway shooting in La Lucia

INCIDENT: HOUSE BREAKING / SHOOTING
SUBURB: LA LUCIA
DATE: 2016/04/29
Shortly after 6:30 PM, whilst a mom and her daughter were returning home to their Morice Place property in La Lucia, they noticed their driveway gate open with an unknown vehicle reverse parked in their driveway.

As the mom and daughter drove into their property they came under fire by armed suspects who were attempting to burgle their home.

Quick thinking by the mom saw her reverse out the premises and head for a Marshall Security guard hut in a road nearby. A call for the assistance of armed reaction officers was made and within minutes our team were on site, however the suspects had fled in an unknown vehicle.

Upon further inspection of the property, it was noted that access was gained through a window into the home. It is unknown at this stage if any items were stolen. Housebreaking tools were found on the property.

The scene has been handed over to the Durban North SAPS for investigation.

Although one of the suspects shots struck the home owners vehicle, luckily neither of the occupants sustained any injury in the ordeal.

The victims have received trauma counselling with the assistance of the Durban North Umhlanga Crisis Team.

It is unknown at this stage the exact number of suspects involved in the incident.
