Johannesburg - Five armed men stole two ambulances in Umtata on Tuesday night, Eastern Cape police reported on Wednesday.

Superintendent Mike Fatyela said the gang held up security guards at the premises where the ambulances were kept.

"They held the guards at gunpoint and took two ambulances with the full medical kit inside," said Fatyela.

The ambulances belong to the local metro council. There are still other ambulances available to use for emergencies, said Fatyela.

The robbers are still at large.
