Armed robbers storm popular Glenashley restaurant

One of the suspects was later arrested and found with a licensed firearm and envelopes of cash.

AN armed man who robbed the popular Mamma Luciana’s restaurant at Glenore Centre in Glenashley less than an hour ago is still on the loose. The suspect acting in tandem with an accomplice stormed the restaurant early this morning demanding cash.

His accomplice was spotted by a Blue Security guard outside Glenashley Primary School just metres up the road from the centre as he attempted to nonchalantly walk away.

According to Hayden Searles chairman of the Durban North/uMhlanga CPF, the suspect was spotted by a Blue Security patrol guard.

“A scuffle ensued and the suspect attempted to pull out a handgun, which was later found to be licensed to him. The suspect was eventually subdued with six members pinning him to the ground. He was also found with envelopes of cash. Thankfully no one was injured with the security guard suffering minor cuts and bruises on his hands”

Initial reports said shots were fired but police have confirmed there was no shootout.
