Jouberton Police launched a manhunt after five unknown armed suspects stormed a church at Y100 Section Jouberton, outside Klerksdorp, on Thursday night, 28 March 2024, and robbed the congregants of their valuable items.
According to information at our disposal, a church member was outside and on the phone when balaclava-clad suspects pointed him with firearms and instructed him to get inside the church. The suspects then ordered the congregants to lie down, searched them and robbed them of cash, handbags and cellphones before fleeing from the scene on foot. Police were called and a charge of business robbery was opened.
