The Ivory Park SAPS is appealing to members of the public with information regarding a business robbery at Bonwelong Primary School at Extension 8 in Ivory Park.
Laptops and computers were stolen at gunpoint.
The Ivory Park SAPS communications officer, Captain Bernard Matimulane, said a security guard on duty in the early hours of Sunday morning was surprised by two armed men who ordered him to the administration offices of the school.
“The guard was tied up and that was when the robbers began to take the computers and a camera. A camera was also stolen. The total value of the stolen property is about R63 000. The robbers’ initial entry into the administration block was via the roof,” said Capt Matimulane.
It is believed the suspects used a getaway vehicle to flee the scene.
“Police officers are following all the leads and are, accordingly, appealing to members of the public with information to come forward,” said Capt Matimulane.
“It is important that the perpetrators of this crime be arrested as their actions jeopardise the future of the learners in a negative way,” said the station commander of the Ivory Park SAPS, Brigadier David Mbongeni Ngcobo.
