Johannesburg - Three men have robbed a Gauteng traffic office
in Mabopane north of Pretoria of half-a-million rand.
Police spokesperson Dikatso Thebe said two of the men - who were wearing traffic officers' uniforms - allegedly entered the premises in a white vehicle with a blue light and ordered the security guards to open the gate.
The SABC reported that the men were pretending to look for an alleged rapist inside the building.
The bogus cops ordered the security guards to lie down at gunpoint and took cash and five firearms belonging to the guards.
The vehicle used in the robbery was later found abandoned on the road to Winterveldt.
