An investigation is underway into an armed robbery in Richards Bay - after a woman was assaulted, and robbed at the city centre.
Police say a woman in her thirties was attacked by two suspects - at a petrol station in Alton yesterday.
The men then struck her with the butt of a gun, took her wallet and fled the scene.

"Shortly after 3pm, Netcare911 responded to reports of an armed robbery at a filling station on South Central Arterial Road, Richards Bay. Reports from the scene indicate a 40-year-old woman sustained minor injuries to her head when she was pistol whipped in an armed robbery.
