A robber redirected motorists at a garage, telling them there was no fuel, while his four accomplices hacked the safe open in Shoshanguve, Pretoria, yesterday.

The garage owner said: "Five guys with guns held up the petrol attendants.

"One took a uniform and sat outside telling motorists they had run out of petrol. The other four used crowbars to break into my office. They then used angle grinders to open the safe and stole R430000." - Sipho Masombuka
