Fast And Furious
Meanwhile, video recordings of the crime had gone viral on social media.
In one of the video, which lasted more than 2 minutes, the suspects were see using a van to commit the crime.
The premise alarm was also triggered and several suspects were seen trying to bring the goods into the van.
In another video, there were three vehicles said to belong to the owner of the premise.
Accordingly, the owner and his men had arrived in an attempt to prevent the robbery, including by hitting the van used by the robbers and sounding the horn.
Still, the robbers managed to flee in their van and the three vehicles were seen trying to pursue them.
Meanwhile, netizens are curious to find out if the three cars managed to chase down the suspects.
They also noted loud noises that sounded like gunshots in the video.
Some speculated that the suspects are in fact stealing crypto currency mining machines which can be very expensive.
Given the number of suspects involved, and the desperation of the premise owner in trying to stop them, the speculation may not be too far fetched.
