Bullets fly in failed Lambton armed robbery: https://bit.ly/2przmpl
The sound of gunshots ripped through the Lambton air as a shootout between Fidelity guards and five or six suspects took place late last Monday. According to Capt André de Jager, spokesperson for the Ekurhuleni West cluster, the suspects overpowered a guard carrying a money box with an undisclosed amount of cash from the Absa bank at Lambton Court Shopping Centre and grabbed the money box.
