Shots fired during jewellery store heist in Phoenix Plaza
Multiple shots were fired while at least eight suspects robbed two jewellery stores at the Phoenix Plaza on Parthenon Street in Phoenix a short while ago.
The Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) Phoenix Operations Center received multiple calls from shoppers reporting shots being fired. All available Reaction Officers were dispatched to the mall and on arrival were informed that the robbers had fled in a white VW Polo and an A-Class Mercedes-Benz. Both vehicles were fitted with NUR registration plates.
It was established that the suspects robbed Mayuris Jewellers and Sterns. An employee from one of the stores was allegedly injured after being assaulted. The robbers fired multiple shots as they made their way towards the exit.
Several 9mm and rifle cartridges were recovered at the scene.
The RUSA Robinson R44 helicopter is currently airborne and assisting with the search for the suspects.
