The police in the Free State have launched a manhunt for the suspects behind an alleged armed robbery at Malebaleba Primary School in Kutloanong on Monday, 1 August.
PRIMARY SCHOOL HIT BY ARMED ROBBERS
South African Police Service (SAPS) spokesperson Captain Stephen Thakeng said a 43-year-old security guard was on duty at the primary school when the incident occurred.
It is alleged that an unknown suspect fired a shot at the security guard before a crowbar was used to force open the classroom the guard was in “and he was tied up at gunpoint,” said Thakeng.
The suspects then ransacked the staff room and fled from the primary school with laptops, cash and other valuables.
“After four hours, the security guard managed to untie himself and screamed for help,” said the police spokesperson. The guard was uninjured and a case of business robbery is under investigation.
Members of the public with information about the primary school robbery are encouraged to contact the investigating officer, Detective Constable Modise Kotsi, at 082-301-2797. He is attached to the Odendaalsrus Detective Services.
