Port Alfred Detectives are seeking information on two suspects who robbed a gun store this morning
At about 11am today (Thursday) one male suspect approached a firearm dealer store where the owner’s daughter was alone. He posed as a customer wanting to purchase an item of clothing and left it on the counter.
