INVESTIGATION CONTINUES AFTER AN INDIAN MAN WAS ROBBED AT SAVANNAH MALL

Wessels could not rule out that the shooting was planned. The victim may have been followed as he was carrying a substantial amount of cash.

Accounts from onlookers suggest the man was en route to make a transaction at an ATM when the incident occurred.

It is reported that a 48-year-old male victim departed from Limpopo Cash and Carry Supermarket intending to deposit a substantial amount of cash at the Mall.

Upon his arrival at the entrance of the mall, the victim was confronted by two unknown males in possession of firearms. One of the suspects unexpectedly shot the victim on the right foot. He threw the money bag on the floor after the gun shot.

Another suspect managed to pick it up and the duo ran away. Suddenly, a 48-year-old male victim took out his licensed firearm and fired several shots at the suspects. They also fired back while running towards their motor vehicle.

The duo subsequently managed to flee the scene with the cash while driving in a white Hyundai SUV motor vehicle.
