Debonairs Pizza in the Ziyabuya Complex, KwaDwesi, has been robbed again, making this the fourth robbery since last month.
In December, the store was robbed three times in two weeks, possibly by the same suspects each time.
Police spokesperson Captain Andre Beetge said the latest robbery happened on Sunday at about 5.15pm.
“Five men entered the store and held the tellers at gunpoint with what they say was a large firearm which looked like a rifle. The men then demanded the teller open the tills and hand over the money,” he said.
“The suspects took the money and fled. They escaped in a Corsa parked in the car park.”
Beetge said staff raised the alarm after the robbery. “No one was injured and no shots were fired.”
In last month’s robberies, there were between two and four suspects, of which only one had a firearm. In one of the robberies, three pizzas were also taken.
Beetge said detectives were going to consult with centre management as well as the store owner to advise on what could be done to beef up their security.
All four cases are under investigation by KwaDwesi detectives.
