Six men posing as SAPS and SARS officials, arrived on a farm in Bergville three years ago - claiming to be there for an inspection.
They ambushed the homeowners and tied them up.
As they ransacked the house, they found a safe containing R3 million and fled with the money.
The Hawks Simphiwe Mhlongo says the matter was reported to the police and the operation was conducted.
