The police in Kroonstad are still looking for suspects after a ten ton truck was stolen in broad daylight almost two weeks ago.
A business in Maokeng was robbed on Friday, 12 May, at 11:15 and the two suspects who are believed to have been involved are still on the loose.
The suspects, who pretended to be customers, took out a firearm and pointed it at the business’ employees.
All the staff members were robbed of their cellphones and an undisclosed amount of money was taken. The suspects tied up the employees before fleeing the scene in a white Mercedes-Benz 10 ton truck that was loaded with 9 kg liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders, ranging from full to empty.
The police believe that the suspects fled in the direction of Vredefort, Parys, on the N1.
Anyone who may have information regarding this robbery, or who has noticed the truck somewhere, is asked to contact the investigating officer, WO John Selinga of the Maokeng detectives, on 073-471-8138 or to report it anonymously on the My SAPS app.
