UITENHAGE - GUN-WIELDING THIEVES RANSACK ROCKLANDS SPAZA SHOP FLEEING WITH MONEY & GROCERIES

At about 8:45pm on Friday, a spaza shop in Bloza informal settlement near Rocklands was also robbed.

Police spokesperson Captain Johan Rheeder said six men, two armed with firearms, entered the store and threatened the owner.

“The suspects demand money. The owner was forced to lie down on the floor while the suspects ransacked the shop.

"They stole several grocery items as well as money they found hidden under the mattress in the back bedroom.”

Rheeder said the men fled in a Quantum minibus that was parked outside.
