One of the guards went with the men to show them where the cables were, while another man stayed to watch over the guard.
Another man went inside the business.
After about five minutes, two of the men came back and one of the guards told police he heard the sound of a vehicle at the gate.
The guard there let them in, and all the men fled, taking with them the copper cables and two of the guards’ cellphones.
