A shop owner was robbed of R25,000 in cash, cigarettes and cellphone airtime vouchers by seven armed men in Westdene, Johannesburg police said on Thursday.

"Seven armed men entered the store at 7pm on Wednesday and ordered the shop owner and his security guard to lie down. They then took money from the till, cigarettes and airtime vouchers," said Superintendent Dollar Sithebe.

The gang fled in a VW bakkie without firing any shots.
