A number of occupants were robbed when their car broke down on the N4 just outside Hatfield on Saturday.
Netcare 911 spokesperson Nick Dollman said the robbery occurred just before the N4, N1 interchange.
“As they were busy fixing their car, a group of armed men appeared from the bushes and started firing shots. The robbers then told the occupants to step away from the car before taking their valuable items such as cellphones and wallets. The robbers then fled on foot.”
