23-year-old man robbed of his Rolex watch at Sandton mall
A 23-year-old man who was shot outside a shopping mall in Sandton allegedly for his Rolex watch is stable in the hospital.
The incident took place just after 6 pm on Leeuwkop Road in Sunninghill, Sandton.
Shawn Herbst, from Netcare 911, said reports indicated that an adult male had been shot while waiting to enter a shopping centre when he came under attack.
“Medics assessed the scene and found that the 23-year-old patient had sustained a gunshot wound to his right upper leg.
“The patient was treated on scene by an advanced life support paramedic and, once stabilized, was transported by ambulance to the hospital for further care.”
On Monday, Herbst said the patient remained stable in the hospital.
“The patient was moved from the high care unit to the surgical ward.
“He sustained numerous fractures and will undergo more surgical procedures.”
SAPS have been approached for comment.
It is unclear in the victim was attacked by the notorious “Rolex gang” that have terrorising communities for years.
The Swiss luxury brand is among the most expensive in the world and can range up to R500 000.
