COPS are hunting for four thugs who robbed the Springs Post Office today.
They grabbed R380 000 grant cash which was supposed to be paid to the beneficiaries.
Captain Johannes Ramphora of Springs police station said two thugs who pretended to be coming from the department of transport entered the post office at the Avenues Mall in Springs this morning at around 10:30am.
"They produced cards and told the employees that they were coming to test license disc machine.
"While inside, they were produced guns and took R100 000 Sassa grant which was already in two tills."
Captain Ramphora said the two suspects, who were later joined by two others, further took about R280 000 cash which was in the safe.
"They tied the four female employees with cable tiers and locked them inside the room."
Ramphora said the four thugs thereafter ordered the manager to open the back door and all ran out of the back door into the street.
No shots were fired.
Captain Ramphora said no arrests have been made yet and since no footage was obtained from the post office, the suspect are unknown.
And he added it's not clear at this stage if suspect's were using a car or not.
