This follows an armed robbery at the La Lucia Mall where five suspects held up a staff member at the MTN store last night.
“One of the suspects produced a firearm and forced her to the back of the store where they forced a safe open and removed an unknown number of cellphones,” added Zwane.
The suspects reportedly fled the scene in a silver Mercedes Benz. On Tuesday night a Glenashley family was held at gunpoint by armed men driving a silver Mercedez-Benz.
