The Namibian Police’s crime investigations coordinator in Erongo, deputy commissioner Erastus Iikuyu, said the incident happened around 01h30, when the two suspects broke open the glass entrance door of a Shell service station shop while two employees and a hitchhiker were inside.<\/p>\n

The three people in the shop fled from the scene while the suspects took the shop’s cash register, containing about N$4 400, and three mobile phones worth about N$9 000, which belonged to the people who had fled.<\/p>\n
