Photos: Man shot three times during robbery in Witpoortjie

At about 9.30pm yesterday (20 February) West Suburbs Roodepoort Neighbourhood Watch (WSRNW) received a call from one of their members informing them of an armed robbery on Lichtenstein Street.

The three suspects stopped at the house in question in a black Mercedes-Benz. The safety gate was open and they kicked open the door. The owner of the house got involved in a fight with one of the suspects and was shot three times – in his leg, side and arm. The armed robbers then fled with only a TV and cellphones.

WSRNW searched the area and secured the scene until the police arrived.

The victim was taken to Netcare Milpark Hospital.
