|||Cape Town - Three people have been arrested in connection with an attack on a couple who are in critical condition after they were stabbed multiple times by burglars in a house in Bishopscourt.
Their stolen White Ford Bantam bakkie has also been recovered by police.
Police spokesperson Constable Noloyiso Rwexana said on Thursday that police spotted the bakkie with three occupants near Muizenberg on Wednesday.
This led to a chase resulting in the arrest of the suspects in Mitchells Plain.

The attack took place on Tuesday at about 12:30pm in Briar Road.

The Newlands Community Forum (NCF) said three men forced their way on to the property with a chisel-type instrument.
