Shoppers scatter as jewellery thieves strike at Johannesburg’s Cresta Mall

Panicked midday shoppers ran for cover when armed robbers opened fire inside the Cresta Mall in Johannesburg on Saturday.

About 11 armed suspects targeted a jewellery store inside the mall, police confirmed later on Saturday.

“The suspects started breaking the store’s glass counters with a crowbar and a hammer to gain access to the displayed jewellery. The suspects then fired shots randomly while fleeing to their getaway vehicles, a white Jetta and a silver Toyota Etios.

“No injuries were reported and the station’s trio crime unit is investigating a case of business robbery,” police said in a statement.
