Staff members at a local retailer on Kirkland Street were left traumatised this morning (Monday, August 4) when they were robbed at gunpoint.
Imran Ghafoor of the Newcastle Crime Fighters Task Team (CCPA), confirmed that the incident occurred at around 10:15, while staff members were in the process of taking money to the bank.
“As the staff members got into the vehicle, they were ambushed by four armed men, who held them at gunpoint and made off with an undisclosed amount of cash,” said Ghafoor.
SAPS, private security, and CCPA responded to the call for help; however, the suspects are still at large.
