Third petrol station robbed in PE in less than 48-hours


Port Elizabeth police are searching for three armed suspects after yet another petrol station was robbed on Friday morning - the third this week.

Police Spokesperson Captain André Beetge says the incident happened at an Engen garage in Kwamaxaki at around 7 am.

He says they entered the garage shop and demanded money.

They were, however, unable to open the safe.

Beetge says the suspects fled the scene in a white Ford Bantam bakkie with an undisclosed amount of money, and are still at large.

No shots were fired, and no-one was injured.

On Thursday and on Wednesday, two Caltex garages were robbed - one in Fernglen and one in Perseverance respectively.

No arrests have yet been made in these cases.
