A resident was held at gunpoint during an attempted break-in at a home on Casuarina Road in Seatides – KZN at approximately 15:30 yesterday (Wednesday 07/10/2026).
The resident’s wife contacted the Operations Center at Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) for assistance. Reaction Officers were dispatched to the property.
On arrival, she informed Reaction Officers that her husband had proceeded to the balcony door after hearing a knock. He noticed an unknown male peering inside, who then pointed a firearm at him. Her husband took cover around a corner in the lounge.
The armed male attempted to break the glass on the balcony door but fled in the direction from which he had approached after she screamed.
The occupants heard gunshots a few seconds later, but could not confirm where they originated.
The suspect was described as being in his late teens or early twenties. His clothing description could not be confirmed.
No entry was gained and no injuries were reported
