KwaThema – Suspects fled with valuables and cash, all to the value of R20 000, during a business robbery along Kotobe Street in Barcelona at about 2am on Sunday.

“He saw two suspects with their faces covered with cloths.
“They were armed with firearms.
“They fired three shots, damaging the door frame and the refrigerator.”
One of the suspects pointed a firearm at the victim through the window.
