Robbery at Fourways Crossing
There was an armed robbery at Fourways Crossing shopping centre at around 5pm last night.
It is suspected that the perpetrators were attempted to rob Mr Price but is not clear yet if they were successful.
The centre’s car guards said police arrived 20 minutes after the robbery and it is reported that one suspect was caught.
Spokesperson for Douglasdale police Warrant Officer Balan Muthan is trying to ascertain more information.
Keith van der Merwe, who works in the centre, said, “With working in the centre, it’s quite scary knowing this happened a few doors down.”
This is the third attempted robbery at the centre in the last few months.
