Robbers barge into a store in the CBD

Eight suspects barge into a John Craig store in the Witbank Central Business District (CBD) to steal cell phones and clothes.

Sales assistance manager Mr Themba Ngwenya said he was at the door when one suspect entered the store to fit on a jacket when the incident transpired.

“The second suspect came in and held us at gunpoint; he demanded that we sleep on the floor and requested me to open the cell phone’s display. Before we know it, they were eight people in the store covered with masks. They took some of the clothes in the shop before fleeing the scene.”

Police indicate in their reports that the incident took place on Tuesday, June 16 at around 09:30.

No arrests have been made as yet.
