A case of business robbery is being investigated after another Durban cellphone store was robbed on Wednesday night, police said on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The store situated inside the Berea Shopping Centre was robbed by four unknown men at about 21:30, Lieutenant Colonel Thulani Zwane said.<\/p>\n
The men accosted a security guard who was on duty at the time and assaulted him with a crowbar.<\/p>\n
The suspects instructed him to open the store\u2019s door. When they realised that the door was not opening, they smashed the glass door with a hammer, Zwane said.<\/p>\n
“A case of business robbery was opened at Umbilo police station for investigation,” he added.<\/p>\n
The gang managed to get away with all of the store\u2019s cellphone stock and fled in a blue vehicle, which was parked in Berea Road, said Andreas Mathios, Blue Security spokesperson.<\/p>\n
Several cellphone stores situated at KwaZulu-Natal shopping centres were targeted by armed gangs last month, including in Umhlanga and Westville.<\/p>\n
On May 17, a video of two luxury cars allegedly used as getaway vehicles, after a cellphone store robbery in Umhlanga, surfaced on social media.<\/p>\n
It surfaced shortly after a Vodacom store on Zenith Drive was robbed by armed men, who used a grey Mercedes Benz and a white Audi to get away.<\/p>\n
