A 42-year-old man was shot and robbed while delivering dressed chicken at a housing complex in Cornubia – KZN today (Friday).
Members of Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) arrived on scene at approximately 15:33. It was established that employees of a poultry business were travelling in a white Ford Bantam, selling chicken door-to-door, when they stopped to serve a customer. While one employee assisted the buyer, two men approached the driver.
One of the suspects produced a firearm and shot the driver in his right thigh before robbing him of an undisclosed amount of cash, his Samsung A02 cellphone, a replica firearm and five chickens. The suspects thereafter fled the scene on foot. The injured man was transported privately to a medical facility for treatment.
One spent 9mm cartridge was recovered at the scene.
