In August 2020, six armed suspects targeted a jewellery store at the same mall.
The robbers, at least two of whom were carrying firearms, broke the store’s display window with housebreaking tools and made off with several luxury wristwatches.
They fired shots as they fled and escaped in two vehicles, a white Golf GTI and a white Renault.
At the time, police spokesperson Brigadier Mathapelo Peters confirmed that no injuries were reported and that a manhunt was launched to track down the suspects.
This is a developing story.
