Pretoria - Gunmen on Tuesday shot out the windows of a jewellery store at the Menlyn shopping centre in Pretoria in order to steal the merchandise.

According to a witness, robbers fired several shots just after 20:00 at Arthur Kaplan's, shattering the windows.

Shoppers ran for cover at nearby restaurants at the sound of the shots.

Police spokesperson Brenda Kgalefa said officers were heading to the scene and that details would be available later.

The centre is a sprawling complex in Pretoria's affluent eastern suburbs, featuring facilities like a rooftop drive-in, Imax theatre and a games arcade - where there recently was a stabbing.
