Police in Welkom are investigating an armed robbery after a man is allegedly lured to assist with chicken transport and is then robbed at gunpoint.
According to the report, a 50-year-old man agrees to help transport chickens and is later confronted by three men, who allegedly take valuables while threatening him with firearms. The incident prompts a public appeal for information as investigators work to identify the suspects and determine what was taken.
The account describes the “chicken transport” approach as a ruse used to lure the victim, but details such as the exact location, time, and whether any injuries were reported are not provided in the available summary. Other outlets are not referenced here, so no differing angles can be confirmed beyond the single account.
