Limpopo police are searching for armed robbers who stole diesel at Moutse Clinic in Dennilton. Police spokesperson Hlulani Mashaba says the suspects, who were armed, ambushed security guards and tied them up in the restroom.
Mashaba says the suspects also robbed the security guards of their cell phones.
“An unknown woman arrived at the clinic and informed the security officers that there was a critically ill person inside the bakkie, which was parked outside. The security officers told the woman that the clinic was still closed. Suddenly, three suspects appeared and pointed firearms at the guards.. They then forced them to the toilets, where they tied them up, robbed them of their cellphones, and locked them inside,” says Mashaba.
Mashaba adds, “Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspects stole three × 20 liters of diesel. It is also not yet clear what happened to the woman and the supposed patient, as they were not found on the premises.”
