The owner of a hookah shop was shot
and killed and an assistant injured after a
robbery at the Hookah Home shop in the
Lenasia CBD, last Thursday, March 29.
The robbery took place at around 10 am just
before the start of the long Easter weekend.
According to Lenasia SAPS spokesperson,
Captain Hector Netshivhodza, the shop
assistant had left the shop to purchase
airtime at a nearby shop. Upon arrival, three
suspects stormed the shop demanding
money from the owner.
"The suspects then shot the owner on the
upper body, whilst shooting randomly. The
shop assistant who had just walked in, was
also seriously injured after being shot, and
rushed to hospital," Netshivhodza said.
An undisclosed amount of money was taken
during the brazen robbery.
The suspects are said to have fled the scene
in a white vehicle believed to be a BMW.
