He pointed the gun at Shcoca and his friend, then the suspect searched all of them and took money and clothes then left.
On the same day just an hour earlier another robbery occurred in Old Coronation.
Mr Bongani Ghumede alleged that he stopped his truck next to the road as it was pouring with rain and there was no guard house.
At 00:00 an unknown person armed with a fire arm knocked on the window and demanded that Ghumede open up.
Ghumede put up a fight as he did not want to let his truck go, the suspect then took the battery out of the truck.
The suspect placed the battery on the ground and he started searching Ghumede for personal items.
He took a cell phone and some cash that was in Ghumede’s possession, along with the battery.
