The sound of gunfire shocked residents of Salvia Court, in Salvia Avenue, Primrose, this morning.<\/p>\n

Three alleged business robbers were cornered by the Primrose SAPS in the courtyard of the block of flats, after they daringly took a 6m leap to escape police custody.<\/p>

The drama unfolded after the men entered the Golden Supermarket and Take Away in Rietfontein Road.<\/p>\n

Sgt Styles Maome, the communications officer for the Primrose police, told the GCN that the men then locked the owner of the shop in a room.<\/p>

“Primrose SAPS officers out on patrol and driving from Cemetery Road were alerted to something strange going on at the shop by a bakery truck driver, who knew the business, and went to investigate.<\/p>\n

“Upon arrival they found that the store’s doors were closed and people in the area told them that the business was doing stock-take, but they couldn’t see any employees working in the shop,” said Maome.<\/p>\n
