A clothing store at the The Avenue Shopping Centre was robbed just after taking delivery on seven cellphones on Monday, says Springs police spokesperson Capt Johannes Ramphora.
Four suspects entered the shop just after a courier van delivered seven cellphones.
One suspect pretended to be a customer, took a T-shit and asked for the fitting room.

A security guard came into the shop and noticed something was going on.
