“It is believed the four robbers approached security guards at the site and demanded to be let in.”
Sepato said a guard apparently claiming to know the men vouched for them and they were allowed in.
“The men held the guards at gunpoint before helping themselves to the five generators.”
They took off in a white vehicle.
Sepato said a member of the security staff was taken in to help the police with their investigation.
“The suspects are still at large and the police investigating an armed robbery.”
