According to a report by Sowetan LIVE the police received a report that at around 10:00 on Monday, a group of some 20 people tried to loot spaza shops in Eden Park. The group dispersed when police arrived on the scene.
The incident comes after a spaza shop was torched in Alexandra, Johannesburg.
Sowetan LIVE reported, “Lt-Gen Solomon Makgale said police were called and informed that people were attempting to loot a foreign-owned shop in the area.”
Makgale was quoted to have said, “When police arrived, [the looters] fled and left the scene empty-handed.
“Shortly thereafter, we were informed of a spaza shop that was set alight in another area of Alexandra.”
Meanwhile, two suspected looters were found shot dead in Langlaagte on Sunday night.
