A doctor was robbed of money and valuable goods when a gunman attacked his surgery in Bank Street, Boksburg Central, on November 14.
The complainant told police he was in the consulting room when his two assistants walked in with a stranger he initially thought was a patient.
All of a sudden the man was joined by his accomplices and they aimed a firearm at the victims, telling them it’s a robbery and that they should cooperate.
They took cellphones and money from the doctor’s pocket and his wedding ring. From one of the assistants, they stole engagement rings and grabbed the doctor’s laptop, before fleeing the scene.
