IT is believed the infamous mall hammer gang has struck again. This time the robbers smashed their way into a jewellery shop in a Hillcrest mall along Old Main Road on Sunday night.
Blue Security media and community liaison officer, Andreas Mathios, said a gang of three robbers entered the shopping mall and reportedly used a hammer to smash open the door to the shop at about 7.30pm.
“The gang fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of jewellery in a white Toyota Corolla with no registration plates,” Mathios said.
He said it was unclear whether this incident was linked to the recent spate of mall robberies.
