According to Mahalapye Police Station Commander, Superintendent Samuel Mosipi, the five are said to have entered Wimpy last week under the pretext that they wanted to familiarise themselves with the Pula currency since they have never across it. He said when the shop assistant opened the till to show them how the Pula currency looks like, "they snatched some money from the till and disappeared." They are alleged to have taken cash amounting P1 300 and proceeded to Mahalapye where they are alleged to have robbed Mr Price of goods worth P2282.85.

He added that they also robbed Style Store of goods worth P634.70 and at Pep Stores they looted it out of goods worth P1 030 Supt Mosipi said they also attempted to rob Tsholetsa butchery in Mahalapye but failed.

He said the strategy they used was to divert the attention of store employees especially those at the till whilst their colleagues were busy snatching the clothes.
