Detectives from the Uitenhage Operational Command Centre have launched a search for four armed suspects who overpowered two staff members at a lodge in Addo on Thursday night.
Spokesperson Captain Gerda Swart says the men, who were armed with knives and guns, threatened and tied up a 41-year-old worker who was busy with admin work in his office.
She says they then went to the 59-year-old manager's room to question her about the whereabouts of the safe, before assaulting her.
When the men could not find a safe they stole some personal belongings, petty cash and a television set, before fleeing on foot.
Detectives are investigating a case of armed robbery at a business premises.
Swart says the complainants were left traumatised by the incident.
Members of the public were reminded to refrain from buying stolen goods as that would make them as guilty as the criminals who stole it.
