Western Cape police are on the hunt for a suspect, after two men robbed a clothing store in Wynberg on Sunday.
The police’s FC van Wyk said the duo entered Markham, in
Maynard Mall, Wynberg, just after midday, pretending to purchase trousers.
‘’They then left to draw money as their card was allegedly declined. A few minutes later, they returned and one of them produced a firearm and began to rob the store of its takings,’’ Captain F.C Van Wyk
Van Wyk said the suspects fled on foot and was chased by store
staff and centre security.
‘’They tried to leave on Main Road in an awaiting silver
Toyota Avanza, driven by a third accomplice, however passing Traffic officers
witnessed the commotion and managed to arrest the driver and one of the robbers.
One suspect escaped with a firearm and an undisclosed amount of cash. No
injuries or damage were reported during this incident,’’ added Captain F.C Van
Wyk.
Wynberg police are investigating a case of business armed
robbery. The arrested suspects are due to appear in court once charged.
