Hi-Fi Corp in Boksburg robbed

Hi-Fi Corporation customers and personnel were held up at gunpoint when 10 armed men robbed the store at Retail Park in North Rand Road around 9.15am on Sunday, January 25.

They took cell phones, Ipads, tablets, GPS devices and laptops.

According to the Boksburg North SAPS communication officer, Lieut Juanita Coetzer, the suspects, dressed in red shirts – the same as the personnel – entered the shop very casually.

“They did not draw attention at first, until they produced firearms,” said Coetzer.

“At this stage it is unknown how the suspects left the scene.”

No shots were fired and no one sustained major injuries.

“One employee was slightly injured when hit over the head and was treated by medical personnel on scene,” Coetzer concluded.
