Police have asked the public for any information that may help to track down the killers of a foreign shop assistant in the Wilderness area on Friday night.

e South African Police Service in George in the Southern Cape have asked the public for any information that may help to track down the killers of a foreign shop assistant in the Wilderness area on the coastline east of George on Friday night.

The preliminary investigation revealed that the shop, situated in Begonia Street in Touwsranten, was still open for business at about 7:40pm on Friday night when two suspects, at least one of whom was armed with what"seems to be a 9mm black pistol", entered the shop and closed the entrance door behind them. Both wore face masks to cover their faces, he said.

The assailants also robbed two customers of their cellphones before they fled on foot towards the dense bushes nearby after taking a substantial amount of cash from the cash register. SAPS Eden policing cluster commander Maj-Gen Oswald Reddy and senior officers visited the scene and immediately activated the SAPS 72-hour plan to ensure that all efforts were made to bring the suspects to book.
