Johannesburg - An off-duty policeman shot and killed three men during a robbery at a restaurant in Emmarentia, Johannesburg police said on Friday.

Director Govindsamy Mariemuthoo said the incident happened at a restaurant on the corner of Levubu and Olifants Road on Thursday around 20:00.

Five men entered the restaurant and ordered the patrons to put their valuables on the tables, said Mariemuthoo.

An off-duty policeman who was inside the restaurant at the time opened fire, killing three men. The other two fled.

No one was injured.

Mariemuthoo said the vehicle the robbers abandoned near the restaurant was believed to have been hijacked earlier on Thursday in Sandringham.

Johannesburg police were investigating.
