Armed robbers took an undisclosed amount of money from Linden Square Shopping Centre’s Kwikspar on the morning of 05 September.
This while the shopping centre’s security guard was directing traffic outside the centre, and claimed that he did not see anything until it was too late.
A Linden police detective and Linden Neighbourhood Watch Operations Manager Fareed Hoosen confirmed that at about 7.50am armed robbers in two white sedan vehicles with unknown registration numbers robbed one of Linden’s most popular grocery stores at gunpoint.
The security guard on duty at the time claimed that one of the gates at the centre was closed and he was directing traffic outside while the robbery took place. He claimed that he did not see the robbery until it was too late to act.
It is not known how much money was taken, and the Kwikspar’s management refused to speak to the media. It is believed that there are no CCTV cameras at the centre.
Questions were sent to Linden police spokesperson Carol Mulamu, and comment is awaited.
