Blue Security community and media liaison officer Andreas Mathios said families who were dining at the Spur reported hearing a commotion which sounded like gunshots as the gang smashed down the door.
“The gang used hammers to smash the store’s window display cabinets and to smash their way into the store. They fled with electronic tablets and other goods,” Mathios said.
He said the gang had been captured on CCTV camera smashing down the door and then fleeing the scene when the store’s smoke alarm activated.
