A business robbery took place early this morning (Thursday) at a KFC outlet in Newlands West, KwaZulu-Natal. According to KZN VIP Security, four armed male suspects entered the premises and held staff members at gunpoint.
The suspects made off with an undisclosed amount of cash, several cellphones, and food items that were being prepared at the time. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Witnesses at the scene stated that the suspects fled on foot, and no getaway vehicle was observed, suggesting they did not use one during their escape.
Members of the South African Police Service (SAPS) and private security teams responded swiftly. An investigation is underway, and authorities are appealing to anyone with information to contact their nearest police station, dial 10111 anonymously, or alert their security provider.
