Gang targets Middelburg jewellery store
Police are searching for five
suspects who robbed a jewellery store at the Middelburg Mall on Thursday.
Mpumalanga police spokesperson Mtsholi Bhembe says the men pretended to be customers before pulling out their guns and holding up staff.
"At which point they started breaking the glass and helping themselves to the jewellery."
