An 18-year-old was among two peo­ple de­tained in con­nec­tion with an at­tempt­ed rob­bery at a bar in Mara­bel­la, ear­ly yes­ter­day morn­ing. Of­fi­cers al­so seized a firearm and cut­lass.

Po­lice yes­ter­day said that around 12.29 am on Oc­to­ber 3, the pro­pri­etor of a bar along Union Road, Mara­bel­la, was con­duct­ing busi­ness when two men en­tered the es­tab­lish­ment and an­nounced a rob­bery.

The men or­dered the pa­trons to lie on the floor, while one of the sus­pects point­ed what ap­peared to be a firearm at the pro­pri­etor and at­tempt­ed to gain ac­cess to an area of the bar.
