A VIDEO of an armed robbery at a local shopping mall has gone viral, in which three men armed with guns are seen jumping out of a white Kia.
According to a post on the Local needs facebook page, this happened at the Pavilion shopping Centre in Westville and has been confirmed by police.
According to KZN police spokesman, Major Thulani Zwane, the incident happened at about 10.45am on Tuesday, 28 April in the centre’s roof parking area.
“A businessman went to deposit money at a bank inside the centre. As soon as he got out of the car, three men carrying guns approached and robbed him of R150 000.
“The three fled the scene in a white car, and there was also a fourth man, who was the driver,” said Zwane.
A case of armed robbery has been opened and no arrests have been made yet.

My name is Sanelisiwe Tsinde, and I'm a mother of two boys and very family-oriented. Being a community journalist for years, I can proudly say I love writing about positive community news articles and giving a voice to the voiceless. Seeing people getting assistance warms my heart. Every day is a different challenge and a new learning opportunity. I supply news for our trusted publication weekly, and a few years ago, Caxton ventured into online publication, so I contribute daily to the websites. I could say I am a multimedia journalist, and working in a community newspaper is beneficial as we do not focus on one thing but we do a bit of everything.
