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.<\/p>\n
Western Cape police spokesperson Lieutenant-Colonel Andre Traut confirmed that five robbers entered a cellphone store, believed to be the Telkom store in the mall, with the intention of robbing it.<\/p>\n
“They fled the scene with one cellular telephone, which was taken from a customer,” he said.<\/p>\n
Contrary to reports on social media, Traut said no shots were fired and that nobody had been injured.<\/p>\n
“The circumstances are being investigated and no one has been arrested yet,” he said.<\/p>\n
In June, the MTN store at the mall was robbed, and in August five suspects also robbed the Telkom store.<\/p>\n
