POLOKWANE – Police in Dennilton are investigating a case of business robbery after a group of armed suspects robbed security officers and made off with litres of diesel at Moutse Clinic in Dennilton on Friday, 19 April 2024. According to the available information, an unknown woman arrived at the clinic and informed the security officers that there was a critically ill person inside the bakkie, which was parked outside. The security officers informed the woman that the clinic was still closed, but suddenly, three suspects emerged from nowhere and pointed the guards with firearms. They then forced them to the toilets where they tied them up, robbed them off cellphones and locked them inside. The security guards were eventually rescued by their colleagues when they reported for duty. During preliminary investigation, it was revealed that the suspects stole three × 20 liters of diesel. The suspects are not yet arrested. It is also not yet clear what happened to the woman and the supposed patient as they were not found on the premises.
