The Citizen reports that four suspects have been arrested after they robbed the Carolina Hospital and attacked the staff.

It is understood the gang of criminals, aged between 17 and 21, stormed the health facility in the early hours of 17 June. They robbed the staff of their personal belongings including cellphones. Police spokesperson Brigadier Selvy Mohlala commented: “As if that was not enough, the group reportedly went on and vandalised the hospital equipment, leaving behind a trail of destruction.” He explained further that “the outrageous behaviour occurred after a man was brought in but later succumbed to gunshot wounds. After these sad news reached people who brought him for medical treatment, hell broke loose as they went on a rampage and caused a lot of havoc which sent shock waves amongst the workers who were on duty.” The four suspects are due to appear in the Carolina Magistrate’s Court on Monday to face charges including malicious damage to property as well as business robbery and possession of suspected stolen property.
