Bloemfontein - A group of heavily armed men wearing balaclavas stormed into a convenience store at a filling station next to the N1 outside of Bloemfontein this morning.
Police spokesperson, Chaka Marope, says seven men armed with high calibre fire arms entered the shop at around 03:00.
He says seven cashiers were held at gun point.
The suspects demanded money.
Marope says two of the robbers jumped over a counter and opened a drop safe behind the counter using unknown explosives.
According to Marope the robbers also stole four portable safes and fled the scene in a white Volkswagen Golf.
There is a possibility that a second vehicle was also used. No shots were fired and no injuries were reported.
