Mall robbers hunted
Three Incredible Connection stores were robbed in and around Pretoria the past two days.
Police are making a special effort to capture robbers targeting shopping centres in Pretoria.
This comes after three electronic stores in and around Pretoria were robbed this week.
On Wednesday, an Incredible Connection store was stripped by six armed men in Mall@Reds.
On Thursday, it was the turn of Incredible Connection branches in Atterbury Value Mart and Kolonnade Mall.
Police spokesperson Captain Kay Makhubela condemned the robberies.
“We are concerned over the spate of robberies, especially those in electronic stores. Investigations are underway and we hope to make arrests soon.”
In the Atterbury Value Mart robbery, an employee was assaulted.
“The robbers became aggressive and assaulted the employee before all staff were forced into the backroom,” one of the victims told Rekord on Thursday.
“They took laptops, an undisclosed amount of cash and our personal items (wallets and cellphones).”
The mall said the robbery took place around 11:45.
It was not immediately clear whether the three robberies were committed by the same gang.
