Learners robbed at gunpoint while on outing


 A group of 108 schoolchildren and 10 teachers from the Hennopspark Primary School in Pretoria have been robbed at gunpoint at a lodge in Hazyview.

Police spokesperson, colonel Leonard Hlathi, says they had been on a school tour when 3 men armed with a shotgun and two pistols entered their rooms shortly after midnight on Wednesday night.

He says the gunmen stole 14 cellphones, money, an I-pad, laptop and jewellery before fleeing.

Hlathi says no one was injured in the robbery and no arrests have been made.

Hennopspark Primary School says the children involved were Grade seven learners, aged between 11 and 13.

School principal Jannie Raath said the school was grateful that no one had been harmed.
