The SAPS Provincial Organised Crime Unit have activated a massive manhunt for a group of heavily armed suspects who allegedly blasted two ATMs at Moletlane Plaza, in the early hours of Wednesday, 02 August 2023.
According to information, a security guard was on duty at the Plaza on the said night at around 02:00 when he allegedly noticed a group of armed suspects, who apparently also noticed him and started to chase after him. The Security seemingly managed to evade the robbers and went to safety.
Two Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) were bombed, and the suspects managed to flee the scene with an undisclosed amount of money.
The Police were immediately notified and opened two counts of malicious damage to property and two counts of Business Robbery. A manhunt for the suspects involved has been launched.
Police are appealing to anyone with information that can lead to the arrest of the suspects to urgently contact Detective Captain Lesetja Mogotlane on 082 451 7232 or #CrimeStop number 08600 10111 or the nearest Police Station or #MySAPSApp.
