Two armed men robbed the Telkom Direct outlet at the Kolonnade shopping centre on Wednesday afternoon. They escaped with several cellphones and iPads.
Monique Janse van Rensburg, spokesperson for the Kolonnade shopping centre, said two men entered the store and showed two staff members their concealed pistols. The robbers subdued the employees, tied them up and robbed the outlet before casually leaving the shop.
“A Kolonnade security guard on patrol near the store and heard its internal alarm go off. He called the control room for back-up, but the robbers had already fled,” she said.
Daan Coleskey, a customer, said he entered Kolonnade minutes after the robbery occurred.
“The place was a mad house. Sirens were going off, doors were locked and security guards were everywhere to see,” he said.
Janse van Rensburg said no one was injured.
Mirna von Benecke, spokesperson for the Sinoville police, confirmed the robbery. She said the employees were locked in a room during the robbery.
