Two male suspects, both in their 30's, were arrested by police for armed robbery and theft of a motor vehicle that occurred at a Take Away shop in Auckland Street, Paarden Eiland.
At approximately 16:35 three armed men entered a shop. It is alleged that the suspects pointed the victim and his wife, both in their 60’s, with firearms and demanded cash.
According to Police Inspector Bernadine Steyn, both victims were taken to a nearby hospital and were released after medical treatment.
The suspects then drove off with the victim’s blue Toyota Corolla.
No shots were fired during the incident and the firearms used will be sent for ballistic tests to determine whether it was used in other serious and violent crimes.
The suspects are expected to appear in the Cape Town Magistrate’s court on Thursday.
