Krugersdorp Police are on alert after a second robbery at Pep Stores in Lewisham last week.
A police sector vehicle received a call-out on 21 February to investigate the incident at the store.
Six suspects were looting the store when they were disturbed and made a run for it.
The suspects fled to their vehicle and took off. Police caught up with them and gave chase.
The suspects then stopped at a nearby veld where they abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot.
They dropped a bag full of cellphones during the chase.
“Police recovered the vehicle they used as a get-away car,” states Constable Tshepiso Mashale, spokesperson for the Krugersdorp Police, as well as the bag with cellphones, which will be handed in at the evidence department.
