Phoenix jewellery store robbers to be sentenced next year
Sentencing proceedings in the case of five men, found guilty of robbing a jewellery store in Phoenix, will begin next year.
Their conviction comes five years after the attack at the Phoenix Plaza.
The gang stole R2 million worth of jewellery from Mayuri Jewellers.
KZN's NPA spokesperson Natasha Kara says they were nabbed a short while later, with the goods still in their possession, after they were spotted by an off-duty officer.
