Four men will appear in the Plettenberg Bay magistrate’s court after allegedly robbing a man yesterday afternoon.

Michael Lond, 71, was approached by two men looking for work, at his house at the Pladda Drive in Plettenberg Bay.

According to police one of the suspects pretended to be looking for work while the other three took cover, and then forcibly opened the door.

The suspects, after gaining entry, stole a laptop and cellphone and fled the scene with the goods worth almost R15 000.

Police spokesperson Captain Malcolm Pojie says that Lond gave a clear description of the assailants, police managed to apprehend them soon after the incident.

Police recovered the stolen items and they will appear in court tomorrow.

Pojie says that they are investigating the possibility that the two might be involved in other burglaries in the area.
