A robbery estimated at R2 million occurred at a jewellery store at the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront on Saturday night.
“Four unknown men entered the shop posing as customers. One of the men allegedly took out a hammer and broke the glass counter while two more suspects entered the shop,” says police spokesperson Inspector Bernadine Steyn.
Steyn says the six suspects took Tanzanite rings, earrings ad pendants and then fled on foot to a nearby taxi rank.
“When they arrived at the taxi rank, a white Nissan Sentra was parked there, waiting for them, says Steyn.
She added that it is believed that another suspect was waiting in the Sentra for the men to arrive.
“The word Shimansky is engraved in most of the rings and the main stone in all the jewellery is the blue Tanzanite,” says Steyn.
The seven suspects are still at large and anyone with information can contact Captain Roy Jackson at the Table Bay Harbour Police Station on 021 403 1001 or 021 403 1007.
The registration number of the white Nissan Sentra is CY 196 222.
