IOL News reports that shop manager, Reborn Chiloane, a shop employee Regomoditswe Mmethi and a third suspect were set to appear before the Brits Magistrate’s Court on Monday after the business was robbed.
North West police spokesperson, Colonel Adéle Myburgh, said Chiloane and Mmethi appeared in court on Wednesday last week in connection with a business robbery at the Brits Mall. The two were employees at the shop where the robbery took place. “The shop had just opened on Monday, July 29, at about 8am and the employees were still entering the shop, when two suspects came inside the shop and threatened them with firearms,” Myburgh reported. The stunned shop employees were ordered to hand over money. The robbers also seized cellular phones and laptops before they fled from the shop. “On Wednesday, August 7, information was received and operationalised by police, leading to the arrest of Chiloane and Mmethi. Police also seized eight stolen cellular phones and two laptops,” said Myburgh. A third suspect, aged 35, was arrested on 8 August by the police investigators.
