The armed robber is still at large.
Hercules police spokesperson Captain Bonginkosi Msimango said two men with a fire arm went inside a shop in Hennops Park where they found the owner and his two employees.
“The shop owner was shot in his hip by the robber wielding the gun,” Msimango said.
The armed robber went to the second floor of the shop while the unarmed one kept an eye on the employees and business owner.
Msimango said the employees overpowered the 40-year-old unarmed robber and detained him until police arrived.
