A jewellery shop was robbed by two suspects on Sunday morning, while a third stood watch outside the store, at the Springs Mall.
Springs police spokesperson Capt Johannes Ramphora says at approximately 11.45am, two suspects entered the store.
One of the suspects was wearing a black suit, and carried a laptop bag, while the other was in casual clothes.

The suspect wearing the suit approached the cashier who was busy rebooting the TV and asked the cashier if they had any 18-carat gold in the shop.
After being informed the store didn’t have any in stock, the suspect in casual clothing pulled out his gun and told the cashier to open the display cabinets.
The employees who were in the shop at that time were all forced into the storeroom where they were all told to lie down while the suspect pointed his gun at them.
