(Video) Armed robbers raid Aerorand hotel
A brazen business robbery occurred at the Magnolia Hotel in Aerorand on Saturday at 22:46.
According to information, a group of about six men approached the security guard, who was in the guard room at the time.
The suspects were travelling in a seven-seater Suzuki with an unknown registration plate.
One of the men inquired about the cost of accommodation at the hotel, and after the guard provided the prices, the suspects requested to enter the premises.
As the guard approached the suspects’ vehicle, two men exited the vehicle. The driver had a firearm.
The suspects proceeded to tie the guard up with a rope and instructed him to keep quiet. The suspects then tied up the receptionist.
The men stole alcohol, cigarettes, a Mobicel SIM, a Samsung Z Fold, and two iPhones from one of the hotel rooms.
Anyone with information that can assist the police is urged to contact investigating officer Detective Sergeant Banze on 079 420 0535 or call Crime Stop on 08600 10111.
