“This week alone, different heavily armed groups robbed filling stations at Badplaas, Mmametlhake and Kabokweni respectively,” said Hlathi.
The fifteen suspects emerged on foot and were shooting aimlessly with highly classified weapons in a filling station in Kabokweni, Mpumalanga.
They blasted the safes in the shop, took an undisclosed amount of cash and fled the scene on foot.
None of the suspects have been arrested yet.
