November started on a sour note for a Casseldale business after it was robbed of construction vehicles valued at R1-million.
The incident took place last Sunday evening on Clydesdale Road.
Springs police spokesperson Capt Johannes Ramphora said a security guard on duty heard a noise coming from one of the containers on the other side of the construction site.

He was then approached by four men armed with guns.
The robbers took him to the guard room and tied his hands and feet together with shoe laces and forced him to sit on a chair.
Two of the robbers stayed behind to guard him while the others went outside and cut the fence to gain access to the construction vehicles.
