Robbers clean out computer store in the east
The suspects loaded more than 50 laptops into a white Ford Ranger with a false registration number.
Brooklyn police are investigating a business robbery at a computer store last week.
On Wednesday, just after 10:00, four unknown armed men entered the PC International store in Nieuw Muckleneuk, said Brooklyn police spokesperson Captain Colette Weilbach.
“They demanded cellphones and computers. A fifth suspect armed with a firearm entered the store along with the security officers and the gardener of the complex inside. The suspects instructed everybody inside the store to go to the backroom,” she said.

While the victims were inside the room, the suspects loaded more than 50 laptops into a white Ford Ranger with a false Limpopo registration number, Weilbach added.
Cellphones belonging to the people inside the store were also taken.
Weilbach said no-one was injured.
The suspects are still at large, and investigations are continuing.
