An inquest docket has been opened into the death of four alleged house robbers who crashed into a tree during a shoot-out with farmers in the North West. Six men driving a white Toyota Raider entered a farm in Biesiesvlei on Friday afternoon, held the farmer and his wife at gunpoint and robbed them of cash, cellphones and firearms. “As they fled from the farm, they took the farmer's Toyota bakkie,” said police spokesperson Brig Sabata Mokgwabone. “In an effort to arrest the other suspects, who fled with the farmer's vehicle, a car chase ensued. The suspects' vehicle came to a halt after hitting a tree.
