The police are looking for two suspects who robbed the MTN store at the Southdowns shopping centre.
The incident took place on Thursday at 11:50. According to the police spokesperson, Warrant Officer Hero Gumbu, before entering the store, the two suspects tied up one of the security guards and then pointed a firearm at the store manager, who was trying to press a panic button after becoming suspicious of the two men.
Gumbu said the suspects then asked the manager to open the cell phone counter and took all the Samsung and Nokia cell phones, to the value of approximately R36 638.
At the time of the robbery, no customers were in the store.
Anyone who might have information that will help the police arrest the suspects should contact the Lyttelton police station.
