Woolworths clothing store warehouse was raided by about 16 armed robbers late last night in Nelson Mandela Bay.
The thieves escaped with a truckload of goods and a firearm.
Police spokesman Inspector Alwin Labans said the Woolworths warehouse in Swartkops Street, North End, was robbed at about 8.30 last night.
“Three armed men entered the warehouse. They forced an employee to lie on the ground. They then brought in other workers from outside and made them all lie down.
“Shortly afterwards, about 13 other guys entered the warehouse in a four-ton truck. They started loading clothes, perfume and other items,” Labans said.
They also robbed a security guard of his firearm.
“We are asking the community to assist us with any information they might have that could lead to an arrest,” he said.
