Two shot in business robbery
Two people shot in a business robbery in Centurion in the early hours of Saturday.
The manager and a customer of the Star Sports Pub at Broadway in Centurion were shot and wounded in a robbery in the early hours of Saturday.
Police spokesperson Captain Augustine Selepe said this happened around 02:35.
“Three men entered Star Sports Pub at Broadway and ordered everyone to lie down. Among all these patrons the robbers went straight to the manager.”
Selepe said the men told the manager they wanted money and demanded to be taken to the safe.
The manager led the robbers to the storeroom where they stripped the safe.
“They further took a briefcase with money from the slot machines and emptied the till of one V-slot machine.”
Selepe said they also cleaned out the money slots at two snooker tables.
The robbers then shot the manager in the waist. It was later discovered that a woman lying on the floor was also hit by a bullet. Both were taken to hospital.
“All the customers were robbed of their cellular phones, money and handbags,” Selepe said.
Police were investigating.
