Mall Manager, Mike Tammadge said that they have made a decision to add armed guards to their security detail in an attempt to stem the tide of armed robberies that has reared its ugly head at the popular shopping destination.

Security vehicles are also permanently stationed at the mall to bridge the time gap from when an armed robbery takes place until police arrive at the scene.

“Our main concern remains to be the safety of shoppers and employees,” said Mr Tammadge.
