“The robber took the victim’s cellphone as well as the patient’s cellphone and money.

The robbers ordered the victim to join other victims in the toilet and closed the door,” she explained.
An unsuspecting security guard from Drift Reaction walked into the trap. “The security guard entered the surgery. As he was talking to the receptionist, one of the assailants came from behind and pointed a firearm at him while another disarmed him, taking his work firearm. He forced him inside the toilet as well,” Ntuli further explained.
