On Monday morning at approximately 09:15 an Armed Robbery occurred on the N1 highway between Durban- and Carl Brummer Road, Bellville.

It is alleged that a white VW Golf, that was travelling behind another white VW Golf that belongs to a credit card company, flashed it’s lights to the vehicle in-front. Both vehicles stopped at the side of the road behind each other.

The two male occupants in the vehicle behind approached the victims on foot after which one of the suspects took out a firearm. The suspects took vehicle keys and two cell phones at gunpoint from the survivors; this is according to inspector Bernadine Steyn.

The suspects then went to the boot and took a bag containing an undisclosed amount of foreign money and fled the scene.

No shots were fired during the incident and nobody sustained any injuries.

The suspects are still at large and the police have opened a case of Armed Robbery for investigation.
