“The complainant [a staff member] was outside the store when she heard the cashiers inside start screaming. As she went to ask one of the cashiers what was happening, she saw two unknown suspects, one fat and the other skinny, holding up the store.”
“She then sneaked into an office where she was able to call the police before being grabbed by her hair by the suspects, who demanded that she open the tills,” Muthan explained.
He added that police were quick to respond and apprehended the suspects before they could make off with any cash.
