An Endicott petrol station was left short-changed after robbers stole fuel and money during a robbery last Friday afternoon.
Springs police spokesperson Capt Johannes Ramphora said the petrol attendant was on duty when a silver-grey BMW 3 Series, with registration FV16CTGP, drove in and the driver asked for R867 worth of diesel.
After the attendant poured fuel into the car, one of the occupants got out of the car and asked the attendant the location of the bathroom.
While that man was in the bathroom, another climbed out of the car, grabbed the attendant and pointed a gun at him.

The attendant was then forcefully pushed into the office.
In the office, the attendant found his three colleagues were also being held at gunpoint by the man who had earlier asked about the bathroom.
The gunmen demanded money and one of them opened the safe in the office and emptied its contents of cash.
In addition to the money, the robbers also took four cellphones and a TV monitor.
The amount of cash stolen was not disclosed.
