Kyle van Reenen of Emer-G-Med said the armed suspects forced their way into the premises and held up the presenters during the radio show, making off with a number of high-end electronic devices.
“The presenters were assessed by Emer-G-Med and found to have sustained no injuries in the ordeal,” he said.
