Staff held up at gunpoint in Park Hill

The vehicle was recovered later that afternoon.

A BUSINESS was robbed on North Coast Road in the Park Hill area on Saturday afternoon.

Marshall Security spokesperson Tyron Powell said armed suspects entered the business premises and held up staff members at gunpoint.

“They then fled with cash, alcohol, other undisclosed items and a white Isuzu bakkie,” he said.

“Details of the stolen vehicle were circulated to members to be on the lookout. It was later established that the stolen vehicle was fitted with a tracking device. Our team members were immediately dispatched to assist with locating the stolen vehicle,” added Powell.

The vehicle was found abandoned on Umgeni Road in the Windermere area just after 14:00 and recovered by our team members together with the Matrix ground team.

The stolen vehicle was transported back to the Greenwood Park SAPS for further investigation and processing.

I am Candyce Pillay – fun, energetic and always positive. Community journalism has been a part of my life for 18 years – something I always say with pride when I am asked. As a journalist, I am forever the favourer of the underdog. When I am not penning the latest human interest piece, crime or municipal bit, and occasionally a sports update, you can find me in the place I love most – at home with my beautiful family – cooking up a storm, soaking up the sun with a gin and tonic in hand or binge-watching a good series or documentary.
