Johannesburg - A 44-year-old woman was shot and killed by two robbers who also stole her car, cellphone and handbag in Springs on the East Rand, police said on Thursday.

Superintendent Andy Pieke said the murder happened on Sugarbird Street where the woman had parked her Toyota Venture to pick up schoolchildren around 07:00 on Wednesday.

She was shot in the face while inside the Venture and died at the scene.

"Her handbag and cellphone were later recovered by the Daveyton police, but her car is still missing."

Pieke said one of the robbers was said to have been wearing a blue overall and the other was described as having a round face with a beard.

Anyone who may have seen the vehicle, with registration number DHC433GP, or have information about the whereabouts of the robbers was asked to contact Springs police on 011 365 5700 or Crime Stop on 08600 10111.
