Watch: Chilling CCTV footage of attempted farm attack | News Article

Chilling video footage has emerged of an attempted farm attack, where the eldest daughter stood about five meters away from the suspects.

A video uploaded to Youtube shows how two suspects waited until the husband left and approached the house. A dog started to bark uncontrollably. The eldest daughter went out with a shotgun to investigate. The suspects was hiding behind the washing room door outside the house. 

The video was uploaded by Daniel Bredenkamp. He goes on further and describes the attempted attack in detail:

"She stood 5 meter from them. She felt something is wrong and ran back to the back door of the house. On her way she spotted the suspects through the washing room window. She ran into the house and locked the security door, the suspect armed with a handgun followed her. She woke up her mother and the mother went to the locked gate. The suspect pointed the firearm at her face, she grabbed the shotgun and fired warning shots. The suspects fled. The girl showed bravery and courage and saved her family's life. Well done! The suspects is still at large."

At 3:38 the dog realises there are unknown people in the front area of the house. It starts barking and three minutes later the daughter enters the room with the gun (6:38).

In the video below she leaves the house to investigate. At 1:02 she's seen running into the house where she locks the security gate. At 1:53 you see one of the men run towards the door, where he allegedly point the gun and the girl fires warning shots.

According to the uploader nobody has been arrested yet.
