WATCH: Shots also rang out during garage bombing chaos

Robbers raid garage in Mhluzi.

Residents of Mhluzi say that bursts of gunfire also rang out during this morning’s bombing of an empty safe at a Mhluzi filling station.

Automatic rifles were most probably also used, residents say.

A gang of robbers attacked the station around 03:00 this morning, targeting the safe, Colonel Donald Mdluli told Middelburg Observer.

Realizing that the safe was empty, the robbers turned on the garage staff and robbed them of personal belongings.

A video taken shortly after the robbery has been supplied.
