ANOTHER POLICE STATION ROBBED

THE Harare police station in Khayelitsha, near Cape Town, was on Sunday evening attacked by armed robbers who stole firearms and ammunition, Western Cape police said. The three armed men tied up the police constable on duty and opened the safe from where they took a shotgun and ten rounds, two 9mm handguns, ammunition and a trunk. Police spokesman Sergeant Bongani Mtakati said the trunk was empty. He said a second policeman who was on duty at the station was out at the time of the attack. He freed his colleague when he returned.
