Police are looking for a group of men whose faces are appearing in the attached photos, who robbed a jewellery shop on Monday, 15 October 2018 at about 17:20, at I’langa Mall in Nelspruit.

Information at police disposal revealed that two men who were wearing police uniform (in photos), entered the shop and approached a security guard who was on duty. The guard became suspicious about the duo and suddenly, a group of armed men emerged and held the staff at gunpoint.

They then robbed the store of jewellery and an undisclosed amount of cash before fleeing the scene in a white Ford Ranger (in photo) with registration number HTC 429 MP.

No arrests have been made as yet, however, police have opened a case of business robbery and impersonation of a police officer. Anyone with information that may assist police in the investigation and lead to the arrest of the suspects, is urged to contact Sergeant Alex Marika on 082 464 5721 or 013 759 1432 or call the SAPS Crime Stop number 08600 10111.
