Vosman Police are investigating a business robbery after a church in Emsagweni was raided by an armed gang at midnight.

According to the police, a man told them that on November 22 at 00:00 he was standing outside the church when he saw a vehicle passing by the church, stopped a few metres away from the church, and reversed.
