THABONG – Two male suspects are being sought after they overpowered a Police officer while at her residence in Thabong.

Earlier today, at about 06:30, it is alleged that a 40-year-old female Police Sergeant was at her residence with her two brothers preparing to visit the cemetery. Her brothers were already waiting inside the vehicle. When she opened the door, she saw two unknown armed males with masks. The suspects forced her back inside threatening to harm her children if she does not give them her Police firearm.
