“Despite mall security responding immediately to the incident, the suspects escaped from the store and appear to be part of a syndicate who had robbed another store at another shopping mall earlier that morning,” she said.
“Fortunately no shots were fired during the robbery and no one was harmed.”
A blue Mercedes Benz was used as the getaway vehicle. The police are investigating the matter.
