UPDATE: Two caught after Montana business robbery
Two armed men are at large after they robbed a business in Montana on Sunday.
Two armed men were still being sought on Monday after the Montana branch of the car parts and accessory chain Midas was robbed at the weekend.
Their two accomplices were arrested shortly after the crime on Sunday, police said.
The four entered the shop around 09:30 and held customers and the owner at gunpoint.
An eyewitness, who asked not to be named, said two of the robbers arrived in a Nissan X-Trail.
The other two parked their Mercedes Benz A-Class at the Kolonnade shopping centre and walked to the Midas branch.
“The four took an undisclosed amount of money from the tills and assaulted a customer.”
As they fled the scene, they met a customer walking in and demanded his car keys.
“Two of the suspects took his car, a Chevrolet Aveo, to the Kolonnade where they parked it before fleeing in the Mercedes Benz A-Class. The remaining two suspects fled in the X-Trail.”
Sinoville police station commander Colonel Ramakamaka Kekana said police chased after the X-Trail.
