The 55-year-old man who was shot in the face during an armed robbery last week is on the road to recovery.
Randfontein Police spokesperson Captain Appel Ernst says, “The man was rushed to a local hospital by passers-by. He since was moved to another hospital where he is recovering.”
Ernst explains what eyewitnesses told the police. “The man pulled into a driveway prior to the shooting.
“We believe that the suspects, travelling in a white sedan then pulled up behind his car. Then two of them approached the man on foot and randomly shot at him, subsequently wounding him in the face and leg.
“The suspects then took an undisclosed amount of money from the victim and fled on foot. No stone will be left unturned and an investigation has been launched.”
