“Soon, he was followed by about six men, who started breaking the glass to get to the jewellery,” Matimulane told Express.
He added that the men made off with more than R300 000’s jewellery within four minutes.
Police believe the suspects drove off in a white bakkie.
One employee, who stood behind the counter during the incident, was left unharmed. “It is not clear whether the suspects were armed,” Matimulane said.
Express has contacted the mall’s management for comment.
