A power failure thwarted a robbery at a post office in Kuruman on Friday (07/08) at about 00:30.
After forcing the security guard to open the doors, the six suspects tried to open the safe of the post office with a grinder, but the circuit breaker tripped.
They then robbed the guard of his cellphone and fled after failing to open the safe.
Brig. Mohale Ramatseba, police spokesperson, says an intensive search has been launched for the suspects who tried to rob the post office.
Anyone with information about the six robbers is requested to contact the police on their Crime Stop number on 08600-10111, the nearest police station or alternatively via My SAPS App.
All information will be treated with the strictest confidence.
