Police in the Oshana Region are investigating a robbery with aggravating circumstances that occurred when three men robbed a Chinese national at Ondangwa.

The robbery took place at the Okapana service station in Ondangwa when three men, two of them armed with pistols, attacked a Chinese national who was filling up his car.

Before fleeing the scene, they robbed him of a cell phone valued at more than N$14,000 and cash worth more than N$600,000.

The suspects fled with a rented sedan, which was later found abandoned at the Kalapuse guest house at Okandjengedi.

The suspects are known, according to Oshana Police Commander Commissioner Naftal Sakaria, who has called on them to surrender to the crime investigation unit in Oshakati or Ondangwa immediately.

Sackaria praised the good relationship between the public and the police in the fight against crime in the region.
