The Midrand SPCA was struck with a major loss following a robbery on the evening of 10 July.
Midrand SPCA general manager Pam Pretorius said that three armed suspects entered the property, held up their caretaker and forced him to open up before beating him up and locking him in a separate room.
The suspects broke everything in the organisation’s main office and fled the scene with vaccines, three printers, an alarm, surveillance system and phones.
The caretaker was able to alert nearby security. Pretorius said that none of the animals were taken by the suspects.
The SPCA is currently organising their office and will be closed until further notice but will be available to take in strays and take on on emergencies.
This is a developing story and updates will follow.
