Johannesburg - A R250 000 reward is being offered for information that could lead to the arrest of a group of robbers who stole electronic items worth an estimated R15-million in Kempton Park, said Gauteng police.

Between four and six people entered a business park complex in Sebenza, Kempton Park, on Sunday through a security gate, and robbed one of the warehouses on the premises, said Brigadier Neville Malila.

“Cellphones, iPhones, iPads and other electronic equipment to the value of approximately R15-million were taken.”

Workers on the premises were locked up and no injuries were reported, he said.

The robbers fled in a White Volkswagen Crafter and a white Isuzu truck - in which the stolen items were loaded.

“The registration numbers on both vehicles were checked and found to be false,” Malila said.

He said a third party had also offered a substantial amount of money as a reward for information that may lead to the recovery of the stolen goods or an arrest. - Sapa
