UPDATE: Shots fired at The Grove mall
Four men who burglared DionWired at The Grove mall on Thursday morning are still at large. Police request anyone with information to contact Silverton police immediately.
Two shots were fired at The Grove mall in the early hours of Thursday morning, during a business burglary at DionWired.
Captain Jan Sepato, Silverton police spokesperson, said the four men were loading stolen items onto a brown Mazda double cab bakkie in DionWired’s loading bay when a security guard noticed the suspicious-looking vehicle while patrolling.
The security guard did not notice the four men as he approached the bakkie, but the situation quickly got heated when the guard parked his vehicle in front of the bakkie.
“One of the men jumped out of the bakkie and fired two shots at the security guard. The guard managed to put his vehicle into reverse and speed away. The four unknown men sped away in the Mazda double cab,” Sepato said.
He said no one was injured during the shooting and the four men in the bakkie managed to flee with undisclosed stolen goods.
Sepato urged anyone with more information to contact Silverton police immediately. Police are still investigating.
Julie-Anne Nel, centre manager of The Grove mall, confirmed the incident.
