Two days prior, the DSM Mall branch of PEP in Winklespruit was robbed by five men who held up the staff and made away with new cellphones, cash, and vouchers.
Last November, Seadoone Mall PEP was also robbed of new cellphones worth R500 000, but the suspects were arrested as they made their getaway.
