PORT ELIZABETH - WOMAN SHOT & ROBBED OF R55 000 IN BURMAN ROAD, DEAL PARTY

Police spokeswoman Captain Sandra Janse van Rensburg said
, a woman, 41, who works for Metalman in Burman Road, Deal Party, was admitted to hospital after she was shot in the leg yesterday.

“A VW Polo arrived at the centre shortly after 9am. The three occupants claimed to be customers.

“They remained in their car in the car park near one of the onsite buildings. Two of the men then confronted a woman transporting money from the office to an office with a drop safe situated across the car park.

“One of the men grabbed the money bag she was carrying while the woman continued to clutch it,” she said.

“In the standoff, one of the suspects shot the woman in the leg. After grabbing the money both jumped back into the getaway car which then sped off.”

Janse van Rensburg said the woman was taken to Greenacres Hospital by ambulance for treatment. The bag contained R55 000. Police on the scene confirmed that the VW Polo was fitted with false licence plates, and by yesterday afternoon had not yet been found.
