🇿🇦🚔 Four robbers dressed as cops torture Limpopo farmer in horrific attack

Police are searching for four suspects who posed as officers and brutally tortured a farmer during a robbery.

According to a statement from the Limpopo South African Police Service (SAPS), the group attacked after waiting in ambush at the farmer’s home in Morebeng, Capricorn, on Thursday afternoon.

The robbers, dressed in police uniforms and reflective jackets with their faces covered, had reportedly been on the property for three hours before the farmer and two farmworkers returned home.

“The [farmer] became suspicious and tried to run, but one of the suspects allegedly threatened him with a firearm.

”He was then tied up and held at gunpoint while the robbers demanded access to his safe. When he said he did not have one, they assaulted him.

“The suspects allegedly assaulted him with a pick and sjambok [whip] and later cut his fingers with a side cutter in an attempt to force him to reveal the location of the safe key.”

The robbers eventually located the safe and stole five rifles, one pistol, ammunition, an undisclosed amount of cash, a bank card, and four cellphones.
