Limpopo police have cautioned residents against carrying large amounts of cash after two men were robbed of more than R150,000 on Tuesday.
The incident happened outside the Groblersdal Mall at about 10am as one of the victims was heading to the bank to deposit money. “The victim called the person who was supposed to be the recipient of money, [who] advised him to [go to a certain] bank. The victim went to the bank and upon arrival found a large number of people waiting to be assisted and joined them.
“While waiting, an unknown African man approached the victim and tried to grab a black plastic bag containing the money. The victim attempted to fight off the suspect but another suspect came and pointed a firearm at him while threatening to shoot him if he resisted handing over the bag.” The victim gave the bag to them and they moved to the victim's friend, who was also standing in line waiting to deposit money, and robbed him of another bag containing money.“Preliminary investigations indicated the two were robbed of more than R150,000 in cash which was supposed to be deposited and might have been followed by the suspects from their residences.”
