Two bunches of litchis, cash and keys to a Nissan bakkie were stolen from an informal trader during a robbery on Vincent Dickenson Road in Canelands – KZN this afternoon (Monday).
A member of Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) was on patrol in the area at approximately 15:07 when he was flagged down by one of the victims. It was established that six males approached the stall under the pretext of purchasing fruit. The suspects produced knives and held up an employee. They searched his pockets and deprived him of R250 in cash. They also stole two bunches of litchis and keys to a Nissan bakkie before they fled on foot. The suspects are believed to be drug users.
Reaction Officers conducted an extensive search but no arrests were made.
