Communications official at Katlehong police station, Capt Mega Ndobe, said, “It is alleged that on Tuesday, December 27, last year, at about 10.15am, a 20-year-old man was robbed of cash estimated at about R15 000 when he was about to leave his place.
“Two armed suspects held him at gunpoint and demanded his bag. The victim was left unharmed. The two suspects fled the crime scene in a VW Golf. The registration number was given to the police.
