It all happened so quickly that a description (from me) would be difficult....
I was sitting having coffee at a place on the cnr of Lwr Main / Trill Rds when someone came rushing in and asked that the person behind the counter push the panic button. This was done and ADT must have taken about 10 to 12 minutes to arrive, by which time (unfortunately) two suspects had casually walked out of Mango G. and down toward Lwr Main. They began running only once they had turned into Lwr Main......at a sort of moderate trot. Soon there were folk chasing them. When I saw the chase happening, all I cld do was run into Lwr Main and scream my lungs out to draw peoples' attention to the chase and the fact of something unpleasant happening. ADT called the SAPS who arrived quite quickly after they were called, for which THANKS OUPA ! To backtrack a little.... Just as the person rushed in (to the place where I was sitting having coffee) and instructed that the ADT panic button be pushed I vaguely noticed some strange behaviour by a very dark-skinned black gent who was walking around the RunX (parked about outside the Asian Supermarket) - he seemed to be walking around in the vicinity of the RunX in a rather agitated way that unsettled me somewhat. The person who asked that the p/button be pushed noticed the guy at the RunX at about the same time I did. She noticed him because he (cellphone in hand) had allegedly watched her walking past Mango G. which was when she noticed the restaurant's owner being manhandled by two black guys inside..........which was when she rushed into where I was to ask that the p/button be pushed. A little further along the road another patroller (Oscar 12) saw two folk run past the Quensh Deli with folk after them and she too became aware something was amiss. There is more I feel I want to say following on what happened but I won't because this site is open to the public and I would not want to put anyone at risk.
