Three men robbed a hardware store of money and a CCTV camera in Loate in Winterveldt on Wednesday, Pretoria police said.

"The shop manager opened the store and a man followed him to his office," Inspector Llife Ramatlo said.

The man pointed a gun at him and ordered him to lie down. While the manager was on the floor a second armed man entered and asked if there were cameras in the room. They ordered the manager to switch them off.

They allegedly stole money from the safe and took the CCTV camera before they fled.

A case of armed robbery was opened. The three were still at large.
