Two people were injured as bystanders ran away from an armed robbery at a popular store in Pelican Park on Wednesday 27 July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grassy Park station commander Col Dawood Laing said four armed robbers entered Clicks near Shoprite in Pelican Park at around 13:15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFour armed robbers took money from two tills, to the value of R4 500. While they were in the shop, a money truck arrived to fill the ATMs which is when security guards saw the robbery and shots were fired.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laing added that two women were injured during the shoot-out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTwo women were shot in the arm; one was taken to the day clinic and discharged the same day while a second woman was discharged from hospital the next day, they were bystanders and not inside (the store) at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that the community apprehended one robber while the three others got away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the same incident an armed robber also hijacked a motorist at the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA passenger in the hijacked vehicle fired shots at the robbers and the hijacked vehicle collided with another car at the corner of 15th Avenue and Strandfontein Road.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pastor Owen Davids, who was a passenger in the vehicle that was hijacked, said he noticed four armed men running from the direction of Shoprite as gunshots rang out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere were four of them who came out, I saw four guns and one robber ran after the car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe pointed his gun at the driver.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davids said everything happened so quickly that he had to duck and dive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pastor added that he drew his own gun and started firing shots at one of the suspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI started shooting at one of them running across and as I was shooting at him, the others started shooting back at me and then we fired at each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A short distance away, police officers and emergency vehicles cordoned off the scene where one of the alleged robbers was apprehended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Berenice Halifax, from the New Horizon walking bus, said she heard around eight gunshots fired as she left her home in Pelican Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs I came from my house, I heard the gunshots go off, so the community ran over and found one of the culprits who was hiding in someone\u2019s backyard.\u201d <\/s1><\/function><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
