Durban - A security guard was shot dead in Durban on Saturday morning, police said.
Spokesperson Daniela Veldhuizen said the ADT security guard was parked in his car on Station Road in Durban's Isipingo suburb around 04:00 when the incident took place.
Veldhuizen said details were sketchy but it is believed that the gunman approached the car and shot the 30-year-old guard in the head.
She said it was believed that robbery was the motive for the attack as his service pistol had been taken.
It is not clear whether there was only one gunman or if there were any accomplices.
Netcare 911 spokesperson Chris Botha said paramedics declared the man dead at the scene.
