Armed robbery at Cape Town cellphone store

A failed robbery at a cellphone store in the Kenilworth Shopping Centre in Cape Town on Tuesday saw five armed robbers escape with a single phone.

“They fled the scene with one cellular telephone, which was taken from a customer,” he said.

You always fail your first armed robbery. Should play more Payday.

There are two Telkom stores in there...

Most likely the one next to the FNB: closer to an exit.

They're both fairly close to exits. The other one is near a new exit they added this year.

Ah it's that time of the year again.

How refreshing...

They recently implemented a paid parking system after it was a free parking mall for decades.

This is happening on a weekly/monthly basis in Gauteng....news do not even report it anymore.

I was there when it happened. All j wanted to do was pay my Telkom Bill, to make matters worse they then told me that they don't take Telkom payments at Telkom.

Glad that you weren't hurt. Which branch was it?

Telkom has great products but useless staff and systems.

Edit: Cape Argus photos show that it's the corporate store next to FNB which was hit.
