DURBAN North police are still looking for four suspects involved in the armed robbery of a La Lucia business.

The incident occurred last Wednesday on Armstrong Avenue, confirmed Capt Raymond Deokaran, spokesperson for the station.

“The suspects arrived in a grey Nissan Almera that had no number plates. They overpowered a guard on the premises by using handguns. They then ushered him into the guard hut and ordered him to lie on the floor. One of the suspects kept watch while the others forced the doors of the business open.

“The men then ransacked the business taking three computer monitors, a tower, a plasma TV and an uninterrupted power supply unit. While loading the items, the suspects damaged the TV and abandoned it in the parking lot. The suspects then fled the scene in their getaway vehicle. At this stage in our investigations we are still searching for the suspects involved,” he said.

Deokaran added no one was injured in the robbery nor were any shots fired.
