PICS: Aftermath of the Nicolway Centre robbery
The suspects managed to get away with little to no reprisal from mall security. What was left behind was a jewellery store with no display accessories and its windows smashed.
At this time, authorities have not made any statements on the investigation. We believe that mall CCTV footage will assist them in tracking down the movements of the suspects and more information will be released in that regard.
This is a developing story.
