What seemed to be potential customers inside the shop were actually suspects that were waiting for the right moment.
The cashier at Springbok Liquor alleged that she was on duty on Friday, October 7 at 19:20 performing her duties when her colleague left her alone on the floor to take in the money for the day.
While she was busy in the shop six customers were busy going through the isles in the shop. Then three extra customers came into the shop.
The cashier noticed that one of the men wore a reflective jacket and the other two were wearing black jackets.
She recalls that the suspect wearing the reflective jacket followed her colleague to the storeroom then closed the door behind him.
“Within a few minutes he came back to the till point armed with a firearm, then ordered me to open up the till,” said the shocked cashier.
As soon as the till was open, one of the two suspects wearing a black jacket took an undisclosed amount of money from the till.
On Monday, October 3 at 03:15 Mr Dorothy Teyase was on duty sitting on a chair inside a shop that he guards on the corner of Stevenson and Watermeyer Street.
Out of the blue an unknown suspect started knocking on the window and showed Teyase a black wallet that he was holding.
Teyase opened the door and within seconds the suspect pulled out a firearm and wanted money
The suspect had Teyase on the floor where he started searching for money; he took a large sum of money and left the scene.
