Police need community’s help to trace robbery suspects
The suspects stole cellphones and cash and assaulted the owner's son with a firearm.
Police are appealing to the community to help them trace the suspects who robbed a tavern in Sol Plaatjie Street on Tuesday, 6 June.
It’s believed the owner of the tavern was busy inside at about 6.45pm when two men appeared.
One of them went to the counter and bought a bottle of beer. A few minutes later his accomplice drew a firearm and pointed it at the owner. The suspects thereafter ordered the patrons to lie on the floor while pointing the gun at them. They further assaulted the owner’s son using the butt of a firearm. He sustained an open wound to the head and left ear.
