CCTV captures the terrifying encounter with armed robbers as they rob the strandloper in Meer en See, Richards Bay
THE Strandloper Convenience Store in Meerensee was the target of an armed robbery on Sunday evening 24/04/2017, when two suspects made off with the day’s takings.
Two men posing as customers entered the store just before 6pm one carrying a backpack and one armed with a firearm.
Going straight to the till, the armed suspect pointed his weapon at the cashier, ordered him to open the till, and took the his cellphone.
His accomplice made his way behind the counter and cleared out the till, emptying about R12 000 into his backpack, and taking only 43 seconds.
