A group of armed men entered Bethal Golf Club through the back door in the early hours of October 27 and robbed the club of cash and liquor.
According to Constable Thomas Mogadime, spokesperson of Bethal Police, the men wore balaclavas and pointed their firearms at the few customers and workers who were still at the club.
The club was already closed and the two workers and about five golf players were still at the bar. One robber jumped onto the counter, fired a shot and ordered everyone to lie down before tying their hands with electric cords and shoe laces.
The men then searched all the victims and took their belongings, including cell phones, wallets and jewellery.
