Staff at a fast food restaurant emerged unscathed after they were held at gunpoint, just before closing time last night.

The Nando’s restaurant at a Centurion shopping centre on Voortrekker Road (R55) had no customers at the time of the robbery as staff were preparing to head home.

Branch manager Pinkie Nkosi confirmed that no one was injured in the incident.

He said staff members were held at gunpoint and cash from the till and some staff’s cellphones were stolen.

Olievenhoutbosch police spokesperson Sergeant Pretty Mokadi confirmed that two men pointed a firearm at the staff and fled with cash and cellphones.

She said a case of business robbery is under investigation by the Olievenhoutbosch SAPS.

Residents are urged to report suspected crimes to their nearest police station.

“It is important for people to call 10111 in an emergency, because the operators are trained to ask specific questions to determine the best course of action,” say the SAPS.
