Johannesburg - Three men robbed the seafood restaurant Ocean Basket of R25 000 at the Westgate shopping mall, police said on Tuesday.
Kagiso police spokesperson Inspector Solomon Sibiya said the three entered the restaurant on Monday at 21:45 when it was about to close, asking for directions.
After they had been given directions, they went into the manager's office, pulled out a gun and demanded money.
The manager was forced to open the safe.
The three took R25 000 in cash and fled from the scene in a white bakkie with Eastern Cape registration numbers.
