Smashed window
The infamous mall hammer gang has reportedly struck again.
This time the robbers smashed their way into a jewellery shop in Hillcrest mall, along Old Main Road, in Durban on Sunday night, Highway Mail reported.
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.
The Hillcrest police responded to the scene, and will be investigating further.
