The incident took place on 11 February at 10.30am when six armed suspects held up staff of the store before stealing various items and an undisclosed amount of money.
Store owner Andreas Salver said two people entered his store under the guise of an engaged couple. As the male suspect made his way to the counter, the woman kept the door open for four other suspects who entered the store.
He added that as one of his employees was making his way back from the toilet, one of the suspects pointed a gun at the staff member who shouted, “We’re being robbed.”
Salver said the robbers locked the entire staff in the store’s storage room before fleeing.
Randburg police’s Warrant Officer Johannes Maja said they had opened a case of business robbery.
