Laudium robber shot dead; three still on the run

Laudium police are still investigating a case of murder after an alleged robber was shot dead in a barbershop last month.

Three other suspects are still on the run following the attempted business robbery in Laudium, said police spokesperson Captain Mavela Masondo.

Five customers were reportedly inside the barbershop when four men armed with firearms arrived, he said.

“Two of them entered the barbershop and pointed firearms at the customers while the other two waited outside. In the process, one of the suspects ended up being shot by one of the customers in the upper body and died on the scene.”

Masondo said three other suspects fled the scene on foot.

A firearm was seized.

Masondo said the customer who shot the robber was not arrested.
