Gauteng police spokesperson Colonel Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi said Jeppe police are investigating a case of business robbery after a well-known supermarket was robbed on 6 September.
“It is reported that approximately 15 people entered the store wearing face masks. They took an undisclosed amount of cash from the tills, cellphones and a security officer who was within the vicinity was also disarmed of his pistol,” said Nevhuhulwi.
Nevhuhulwi added that the suspects allegedly fired shots in the air as they fled the scene in a Toyota Quantum. No injuries were reported.

According to reports, two suspects, initially posing as clients, entered the premises in the afternoon.
The situation quickly escalated as they brandished firearms and headed straight for the reception area.
Eyewitnesses recounted that the suspects, still unidentified, zeroed in on the receptionist before swiftly seizing a laptop from the counter.
