Police are on the hunt for four robbers who stole cellphones worth R1 million from a Vodacom shop at a Centurion mall on Thursday, police said.

I don't understand why they don't take precautions against this.

That shop gets robbed about 2-3 times per year and the culprits always get away.

Also, the reporter has his facts twisted around as usual.

The Centurion Mall and the Mall@Reds are two completely different malls, so which is it?

In most cases shops within a mall may not have their own security and are forced to rely on the security arrangements of the mall itself.

That may be, but at this point they could have installed metal detectors or revolving doors like the banks as silly and unpractical as that sounds, or given someone a panic button to wear around their neck.

Also, which mall was it? Centurion or Mall@Reds?

If the pattern repeats itself, you can be sure the other one will be hit in the near future.

The shop at the Irene Mall is also a favourite.

The article says a Centurion mall not Centurion Mall, so it is correct - Mall@Reds is a Centurion mall.

If you were really our king, you'd know a Centurion mall does not equal the Centurion Mall

The article mentions a mall in Centurion...

Two of them entered the store in the Mall@Reds

The King is not too proud to apologize for the oversight.

Order is restored in the universe again.

CCTV is mostly for youtube clips nowadays

I'm pretty sure that the undisclosed procedure of most mall's security is to let the robbers get away unhindered.
Insurance will always pay out, and trying to stop the robbers only results in innocent shoppers getting shot to pieces.

Those phones are not insured. It's a loss to the company that sells them.

On purpose or by accident?

Maybe you should read better. The reporter wrote 'a Centurion mall', not 'Centurion mall'.

At least cell phone shops are not being robbed every week like last year.

Maybe you should read better, he already acknowledged his mistake hours ago.

Why would they not be insured?
Who doesn't insure their stock?
Do you have a source for this?
