A Witpoortjie supermarket victim of Saturday afternoon robbery

Supermarket franchise yet to be contacted for comment.

The big bright lights serve as a beacon for shoppers but also draw the attention of those with darker intentions. 

Just months after opening, the franchise supermarket on General Pienaar Avenue between Ham and Gregor Streets was robbed on July 24. 

Police are still compiling the report but early indications from first responders suggest 10 males held cashiers at gunpoint just before 16:00, emptying the tills. 

Private security companies responded to the incident and no injuries have been reported.

Further details on the incident will be shared once they are available.
