The suspects got inside the motor vehicle and drove to the nearby bushes next to the cemetery and the victims were tied with shoelaces and searched.
Two suspects managed to take bankcards, cellphones and departed to withdraw an undisclosed amount of money from an ATM machine in Groblersdal while utilizing the 47-year-old’s motor vehicle.
Three suspects remained behind with the victims until one of them was allegedly called through a cellphone to escort the victims to the motor vehicle that was parked next to the N11 public road due to a tyre puncture after making a withdrawal shortly
The suspects fled the scene on foot in possession of robbed bank cards, smart cards ID’s, a bag containing clothing worth R400.00.
