ON Wednesday morning, a security officer and cashier were allegedly robbed at gunpoint while heading to a nearby bank with a bag of money. The incident took place at the Eros Shopping Centre in Windhoek.
According to the police report, it is alleged that the cashier and security officer were on their way to the same shopping centre’s bank to deposit the money. While walking, they suddenly heard a silver Corolla approaching them, and three men jumped out of the vehicle, grabbing them and demanding the bag containing cash, which was carried by the security officer.
Armed with firearms, the assailants pointed their guns at the victims, firing three warning shots, and forcefully took the bag. They managed to escape with N$27 551 in cash and are still on the run.
As of now, no recovery or arrests have been made, and the police investigation continues.
