It was reported that the two employees were on their way to a petrol station when they were allegedly accosted by five armed men who sprang out of a white Audi.
According to reports, some of the armed men forced the two employees to lie down on their backs in the car and they allegedly drove away with the luxury vehicle with the two employees in it.
