Thamaga police confirmed they are currently investigating an incident in which the local Choppies Supermarket was robbed on Sunday.

“We are investigating a case of robbery whereby three men wearing balaclavas entered Choppies around 8.05pm after its closure,” says a statement from the police.  The statement added that the men kicked open the doors of the store before proceeding inside where they stole tills containing cash, which was yet to be set in figures.
