A farm attack took place on the evening of 14 April 2021, on a farm in the Alicedale area, on the N10 road to Patterson, in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. Five armed attackers overpowered and assaulted Erica Fox and her husband in their home. The man was tied up and Erica was forced to open the safe.

The attackers stole jewelry and four firearms; two shotguns, a 9mm pistol and a revolver. Erica was then also tied up in one of the bedrooms.

At this stage there are conflicting stories regarding an American guest, Mr Jacobs, that was also on the farm. At the time of the attack he was either kidnapped by the attackers and later released, or he fled into the bush to take cover and hide away.

He was later found unharmed by patrolers and taken to the police station. This story is unfolding.

Local farmers and other roleplayers responded but there have been no arrests. Police are investigating.

There is no other information available at this stage.
