More robberies continue adding to further fear and frustration as the society tries to come to grasp with the series of gang style murders over recent weeks. Police are hunting for three suspects who carried out a midnight robbery in Mon Repos on the East Coast and in the process shot Steven Ramahlo in the leg. According to statements by the injured man’s wife, Police are trying to piece together a nexus between what they claim to be a similarity in the attack with the one in Cornelia Ida, Thursday last. Two brothers were shot in that robbery.
