Apparently, the suspects went to the same place after the robbery and that was where one of the victims saw them. A toy gun was found in their vehicle.
Brigadier David Mbongeni Ngcobo, the station commander of the Ivory Park SAPS, said he has instructed his colleagues to leave no stone unturned since they have had continuous incidents of robberies committed by men driving in a white sedan.
“The men’s profiles and backgrounds will be checked. There is a possibility of additional charges,” added Ngcobo.
Any person who has been the victim of a robbery and can identify this modus operandi may contact Detective Sergeant Edmond Lebopo on 011 990 9600.
