Three men tried to force an entry into the property, in the south of Durban suburb yesterday morning.

The owners were alerted to the break-in when a shot was fired, killing one of their canines. 

"We can confirm that a case of malicious damage to property has been opened by Montclair SAPS after three suspects attempted to enter one of the premises at Yellowwood Park," said police spokesperson Thulani Zwane.
