Robbers strike KZN school, 4 pupils injured
Four pupils from Dassenhoek High School have been injured after a gang of robbers struck the Pinetown school.
The robbers broke the school fence to gain access to the KZN school premises on Wednesday.
The provincial Department of Education say the armed gang entered the school and demanded valuable items from teachers and pupils.
The robbers were visibly armed with a gun and knives.
“The learners stood their ground and refused to be bullied by the robbers. Sadly, the learners were eventually overpowered, terrorised, and stabbed and the perpetrators made off with cellphones, money and other valuable items,” the department said in a statement.
The injured pupils are recovering in hospital.
The police arrested one suspect, while the other two suspects are still at large.
KZN MEC for Education Kwazi Mshengu is expected to visit the school on Thursday.
