Store robbed at knifepoint

Police have arrested two suspects.

THE men who robbed a Chinese owned store in Gamalakhe on December 11 have been arrested.

Police spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Zandra Wiid said the men entered the store at around 11am, armed with pangas (bush knives) and other knives.

They threatened the security guard and took a substantial amount of cash before fleeing the scene.

Warrant Officer Patrick Gosling and a team of policemen from Port Shepstone arrested two suspects linked to the robbery in Gamalakhe last Wednesday.

Police are searching for the third suspect.

The arrested men appeared in Port Shepstone Magistrate’s Court on charges of business robbery. The case was postponed.

In separate incidents, the same officers also arrested a man with seven parcels of dagga, and three others with loose dagga.
