Bloemfontein -Police have arrested two suspects in connection with an armed robbery at the Spur at Preller Square, in the Free State capital last night.
Provincial police spokesperson Thabo Litabe said four armed men entered the restaurant at around 11pm. He says the suspects commanded restaurant patrons to lie on the floor before robbing them of cellphones and valuables.
They also took an undisclosed amount of cash from the restaurant’s safe. Litabe says a waiter was injured when the suspects opened fire while leaving the restaurant.
Litabe says the two arrested suspects were found in possession of nine cellphones and cash. They will appear in court soon on charges of armed robbery.
