AUDIO: Hammer gang hits Hillcrest mall
The gang of men fled the scene in an unlicensed vehicle with an undisclosed amount of jewellery.
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.
