Two held after shop robbery

TWO men were arrested yesterday after an Engen petrol station QuickShop in Port Elizabeth was robbed.
Atlas Security said only the cashier was in the 24-hour shop in Allister Miller Road at about 5.30am when two men, one with a knife and the other with a gun, entered.
They threatened the cashier before making off with R1 000, after which the cashier pressed a panic button.
An Atlas Security team responded, gave chase and caught two men, one with a knife, alongside the nearby railway line. The money and gun were not found. Police spokesman Captain Johan Rheeder said the men would appear in court tomorrow.
