Six armed suspects robbed Blackheath Super Spar on the evening of 28 August.
Clive Maher of SCP Security told a Northcliff Melville Times journalist on the scene that the suspects entered the store and not only did they empty out the cash drawers and rob the store they also stole from shoppers. The robbery took place at about 5.15pm
An eyewitness explained that they saw the suspects flee in three cars; an Auris, a VW Up! and a Corolla after firing three shots into the air outside the store.
“They fled toward Mountain View Road towards Linden,” said Maher.
There were no injuries reported and the staff and some shoppers are said to have received trauma counseling from counselors who were on hand.
This is a developing story. More information will follow as it becomes available.
