A fishery on Corcorde Street in the Lenasia CBD was robbed on the morning of Friday, March 18.
According to the owner, one man entered the shop at around 9am brandishing a firearm. The man told the store owner and five of his workers to lay down on the floor and demanded money and cellphones.
“When I told him we didn’t have money as we had just opened shop, he took us all to the back and emptied the till,” the owner said.
A customer walked in during the hold-up which scared off the perpetrator.
“To my knowledge there was only one person. However, according to witnesses there were four others in a silver Peugeot,” the owner said.
According to Lenasia SAPS spokesperson, Captain Hector Netshivodza, four cellphones and an undisclosed amount of money was taken.
“No one has been arrested at this stage. We are investigating a case of business robbery,” Netshivodza said.
