Westgate Shopping Centre responds to robbery
Westgate Shopping Centre’s marketing manager Gail Mashiane has warned shoppers not to draw large amounts of money. This comes after a man was robbed of R12 000 in cash after withdrawing R40 000 from a bank yesterday afternoon. He was followed to his vehicle by the suspects and a warning shot was fired before they demanded the money. The two suspects fled the scene in a white Mercedes Benz.
