A robber in a wheelchair and his accomplices robbed a jewellery store in Pinetown, Durban on Wednesday at around 11.30am.
It is alleged the jewellery store owner’s wife opened the gates for the two male customers, one of them being pushed in a wheelchair.
After they entered, the man in the wheelchair jumped up, with a firearm in his hand.
Other robbers entered, and held the owner, staff and customers at gunpoint.
The robbers stole all the gold and silver jewellery from the showcases.
