The Pretoria Moot police have launched a manhunt for three men wanted for robberies in the area.
The men were wanted for house and business robberies committed this year, police spokesperson Captain Anton Breedt said.
He said in June this year a garage shop was robbed.
“The workers was inside the shop when two men approached them and knocked on the window,” he said.
“They asked the workers to open the doors because they wanted to get into the shop.”
Breedt said the workers did not respond.
“After a few minutes, the suspects broke down the front door of the shop,” he said.
“They went around the till area and one of the suspects threatened the workers with a firearm to give them money from the till.”
He said the men fled the scene with an unknown amount of money.

Then in October this year, a house was robbed, Breedt said.
“The victim heard a noise from the bathroom and went to check what could be making the noise, but could not find anything,” he said.
“Suddenly, they heard a second noise and the armed suspects entered the house.”
Breedt said the men threatened the woman and her husband with a firearm.
After kicking the husband, the criminals demanded that the couple lie down on the floor.
“They searched the house and fled the scene with stolen goods,” Breedt said.
The police urged anyone with more information to contact them.
