Gauteng police have launched a manhunt for 11 suspects who robbed a jewellery store at the Cresta Shopping Centre in Randburg just before midday on Saturday. 

Police spokesperson Brigadier Brenda Muridili said some of the robbers had handguns when they broke into the store.

"The suspects started breaking the store's glass counters with a crowbar and a hammer to gain access to the displayed jewellery. They then fired shots randomly while fleeing to their getaway vehicles," said Muridili.
