Four armed men robbed three foreigners on their way to a World Health Summit on the R21, Pretoria police said on Monday.
Inspector Paul Ramaloko said the three delegates, two men and a woman from France, Germany and Nigeria, were on their way to Pretoria north to attend the summit on Sunday when a Hyundai bumped their Microbus from behind.
The driver of the Microbus stopped and the four armed men approached the car and held up the occupants.
”The suspects took laptops, clothing and cellphones and sped away in the Hyundai.”
Ramaloko said police were investigating a case of armed robbery and no arrests have been made.
”One of the delegates was taken to hospital but was later discharged.”
Ramaloko said the delegates were expected to stay in the country for two weeks. — Sapa
