“They then forced one of the staff members to open the cellphone safe. They then took cellphones worth over R160 000,” he explained, adding that two additional cellphones were also taken from the employees. “In the midst of the incident, one female employee was assaulted with a firearm and sustained injuries,” he added.
Muthan said an ambulance was called in for the injured employee after the suspects had left the scene on foot, running in different directions. “They used their own sport bags to carry the cellphones and no cash was stolen. This matter is under investigation,” he concluded.
