Rooikat appeals for information on beer heist
Rooikat Wholesale Liquor is still looking for information that may lead to the arrest of three male suspects that perpetrated an armed robbery in April.
The robbery took place at one of Rooikat’s storage units not located on the retail property, on Thursday April 22 at around 15:45.
Rooikat’s owner Charl Breytenbach said some store employees had been loading beer onto the company truck at the storage unit, when three armed men approached.
He said the men beat up their truck driver and locked him and the supervisor in the toilets at the storage unit.
