After the theft, he said, the men tried to gain access to the ATM machine which was housed next door to the salon but they were forced to abort the mission.
In other sections of the media, it was reported that men had already drilled a hole in the wall. However, their attempts were cut short after a security guard from a nearby business spotted them in operation.
The security guard reportedly raised an alarm and the men fled the compound of the Courtyard Mall making good their escape.
