Staff members at upmarket jewellery store in Nelson Mandela Square in Sandton, Johannesburg, were showing expensive watches and rings to an interested “customer” when they suddenly found themselves being robbed of goods worth R8m.
According to Sandton police spokesperson Captain Granville Meyer, three suspects – two men and a woman – entered the House of Ameera store on Sunday pretending to be customers.
“They were fitting on watches when one of the guys took out a firearm. They took jewellery worth R8m and an undisclosed amount of money,” Meyersaid.
The ordeal was caught on CCTV cameras and images of the three suspects were widely shared on social media.
