Police ask residents to assist with information that can lead to the arrest of the two wanted men on the identikits shown.
Spokesperson Captain Coba Brits said the men are wanted in connection with a robbery committed in East Lynne.
“On 6 March, two complainants withdrew a substantial amount of cash from the Absa ATM on Stormvoël Road, East Lynne, for the salaries of their employees. It is believed on their way back, a vehicle with four unknown men unexpectedly forced them off the road. The heavily armed men jumped out of the vehicle and surrounded their vehicle. The two complainants were forced out of their vehicle at gunpoint,” she said.
Brits said the robbers allegedly took the cash that was in the vehicle and fled the scene in a white Nissan sedan with an unknown registration number. An identikit of two of the men was compiled by the complainants.
“If anyone has any information on the whereabouts of the men or can assist in identifying them, they must contact the investigating officer Constable MR Phalatse on 012-845-8823 or 072-427-2548 or Crime Stop on 08600 10111,” she said.
