Two armed men left a gun behind after robbing an adult store in Springs, east of Johannesburg, of DVDs, videos, magazines and cash on Wednesday, police said on Friday.
Police spokesperson Inspector Thomlyn Jacobs said police, responding to a call from the sex shop after the robbery, found an unlicensed 9mm firearm loaded with live ammunition on a chair.
Jacobs said police suspect the robbers forgot about the weapon as they hastily packed the stolen goods. — Sapa
