THE IStore at the Glen Shopping Centre was robbed of display units to the value of approximately R280 000 around 22:50 on Tuesday night (December 6).
Five suspects in a white Kia Rio, new shape, entered the premises at 22:51 and walked directly to the IStore. Two of the males had crowbars and smashed the glass panel. The men stole the display units at the store, estimated at R280 000, in approximately 90 seconds.
