Popular retail store in Fichardt Park robbed | News Article

Free State police in Parkweg, Bloemfontein are investigating a case of business robbery and theft of a motor vehicle.


Police spokesperson, Thabo Covane, tells OFM News that  police are investigating two incidents, which took place yesterday at a popular retail store in Benade Avenue, Fichardt Park at around 20:25.

He says police have since launched a manhunt for three men, who wore balaclavas, after a 30-year-old registered a complaint with the police about the crime that was executed at gunpoint.

He adds that according to information at this stage, the robbers demanded they open the safe and robbed them of an undisclosed amount of cash, cell phones, laptops and tablets.

Covane says the trio, who are still at large, allegedly took the keys to a white Ford Bantam, belonging to the store, and loaded all the stolen items inside the vehicle and fled the scene.

“The complainant was hit over the head with a firearm and a colleague was stabbed with a pair of scissors in the shoulder.
