“The suspects then broke into the store and loaded groceries and electrical appliances worth thousands of rands into their blue Corsa vehicle without registration numbers, before they fled the scene. The preliminary police investigations revealed that the suspects called the store manager demanding safe keys, using the victim’s phone in an attempt to access the money in the safe but they failed,”explained Lieutenant Colonel Moatshe Ngoepe.
