Five people, in a red Toyota Corolla, robbed a Pakistani businessman at 8.30am, recently, in Graceland.<\/p>\n

They got away with R4 000 in cash and several items, including cartons of cigarettes.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Three of the suspects took off on foot towards the Ramaphosa informal settlement, while the two in the vehicle raced towards Elsburg.<\/p>\n

The EMPD’s Katlehong, Vosloorus and Germiston precinct stations were told to be on the lookout for the vehicle and these officers were backed-up by the EMPD Intervention Unit.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

A friend of the businessman, who happened to stop his vehicle outside the business while the robbery was in progress, was shot at by the robbers.<\/p>\n

The red Toyota Corolla was tracked to Giyani Street, in Vosloorus, by EMPD officers at about 2pm.<\/p>\n

There were four occupants and the items stolen from the business were found strewn on the floor.<\/p>\n

The firearm used, as well as the cash taken during the robbery, are still to be recovered.<\/p>\n

The four people, aged between 24 and 31, were booked at the Elsburg Police Station on charges of armed robbery, attempted murder and possession of suspected stolen goods.<\/p>\n
