The suspects fled in a grey Toyota Hilux in the direction of Botshabelo. An undisclosed amount of cash was taken.
By late morning, officers were still processing the scene.
The Hawks have not ruled out the possibility that the robbery may be linked to other similar incidents. They are urging anyone with information to contact Lieutenant Colonel Babane Skota on 079 509 4998 or 051 412 3000.
