JOHANNESBURG – During the early hours of Tuesday morning an ATM was bombed at Cornwall Hill shopping centre in Elardrus Park in Pretoria.

Paramedics say a security guard was found shot and wounded.

Reports from the scene suggest that the armed robbers got away with an undisclosed amount of money.

Netcare911 say the guard was stabilised on scene by paramedics and transported to a nearby hospital under the constant care of an Advanced Life Support Paramedic.

The security officer is believed to be in a stable condition at a Pretoria hospital.

No other people were injured during the incident and the police are investigating the matter.
