Durban - A vehicle tracking device led police to a cemetery in Clermont where they found a stolen car loaded with goods which had been taken during a home robbery in Westville.
A family in Dunkeld Road, Westville North, was held up in their driveway on Tuesday morning.
Three men confronted a man and his children.
Police spokesman, Lieutenant-Colonel Thulani Zwane, said, “They grabbed him and shoved him inside the house and forced him to lie down.
“They tied him up and ransacked the house. They took televisions, jewellery, cash and his car,” said Zwane.
The vehicle was soon tracked and recovered by a tracking company.
