Two suspects were arrested within 15 minutes of a robbery at a 24-hour supermarket in Port Elizabeth.
Police spokesperson, Colonel Priscilla Naidu said the Spar Supermarket was robbed in Rink Street in Central in the early hours of Monday morning.
She said a 21-year-old cashier was confronted by four males who entered the shop and demanded money.
Naidu said they took a small amount of cash and cigarettes and left.
No weapons were produced during the robbery.
About 15 minutes later, SAPS Humewood members spotted two suspects near the taxi rank.
“When they stopped next to them, they realised that it was the same suspects on the video footage,” Naidu said.
Two suspects were arrested while two others are still at large.
No stolen items were found in possession of the suspects.
The men, aged 25 and 29, are expected to appear in court on Wednesday on a charge of business robbery.
