A man (30) from the Multisave supermarket at Walvis Bay was allegedly robbed at the town on Wednesday.
According to Erongo police spokesperson warrant officer Tuyenikelao Tashiya, the employee, who is also the son of the supermarket owner, went to the shop with a bag of money to prepare it for banking.
While opening the shop door, three men armed with pistols appeared and threatened him for the bag of money as well as his cellphone and car keys.
The suspects then sped off with a grey Polo sedan with a Swakopmund registration number.
They allegedly got away with one cellphone, the car keys, and N$313 725.10.
The incident occurred at 06h04.
The iPhone was picked up by a woman near the Puma Service Station at Kuisebmond about 30 minutes after the incident.
Anybody with information that may assist the police in the investigation is urged to contact detective warrant officer Sibalatan Simataa on 081 437 7841 or deputy commissioner Erastus Iikuyu 081 246 4757.
