Pietermaritzburg - Two men were arrested as they robbed an undertaker's business in Pietermaritzburg, police said on Thursday.
Captain Joshua Gwala said Luke Nkomonde, an employee at Gama Funeral Services, was confronted by two men about 09:00 on Wednesday.
Holding Nkomonde at gunpoint, they demanded the safe keys and searched the drawers in the office, removing two cellphones.
They forced Nkomonde to the back of the premises.
Just then, two policemen attending to a matter nearby saw the commotion and rushed to Nkomonde's aid.
They arrested the two suspects and confiscated a licensed firearm.
The suspects will appear in the Pietermaritzburg magistrate's court soon.
