One armed man is on the run after art school, Open Window Art Academy in Southdowns, was robbed on Tuesday night, police said.
Police spokesperson Warrant Officer Hero Gumbu said that a white BMW 1 Series was also stolen at the scene but later recovered in Mamelodi.
“The two suspects, who held the security guard at gunpoint, instructed him to lay on the ground. They tied him up and entered the building,” he said.
The armed men fled with computers in the stolen BMW. “The vehicle had a tracker and was later recovered in Mamelodi. One of the suspects was arrested while the other one fled,” Gumbu said.
Police are investigating a case of business robbery. “We still need to identify the recovered items as they are currently at the Mamelodi police station,” Gumbu said.
