Police are searching for two women suspected of drugging and robbing a 75-year-old man at his home on Mungal Road in Riet River on Friday.
The incident occurred after the two women, dressed in traditional Indian clothing and wearing masks, approached the elderly man while he was in his yard.
They struck up a conversation, mentioning his late wife by name, which led him to invite them inside his home.
The women offered to make tea and prepared a beverage for the man and themselves in his kitchen.
After drinking the tea, the man blacked out and regained consciousness several hours later, only to find that various household items, cash, clothing, and his cellphone were missing.
CCTV footage captured the women leaving the property with two bags.
However, it remains unclear if they used a vehicle to flee the scene. Local authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward as they continue their investigation.
