Spokesperson Hannes Du Buisson said Edgars in Mall@Reds was robbed by five armed men just after 09:00.
“They entered the premises through the basement and held staff at gunpoint. They robbed the store’s cash float which was an undisclosed amount of money,” Du Buisson said.
He said the robbers fled in a white Ford Ranger bakkie with registration number PJW 464 GP.
Du Buisson said medical services and trauma counsellors were called and attended to some of the female staff who had fainted from the trauma and shock.
Police spokesperson Captain Bonginkosi Msimango said a case of business robbery was being investigated.
About an hour later, two shots were fired at Centurion Mall during an armed robbery at Vodashop.
