Two suspects were apprehended by members of the public after allegedly abandoning a vehicle and fleeing from Makro in Springfield on Saturday afternoon.
Security personnel identified the suspect vehicle in the Makro car park, prompting the Security Manager to instruct staff to close the gates and prevent it from leaving the premises.
The suspects then abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot through the entrance gate.
Members of the public caught up with them at the intersection outside Makro, where one suspect was allegedly assaulted on the main road before being taken back to the Makro premises.
SAPS members were on the scene and were expected to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Further details were expected as information became available.
