This Saturday, three hooded individuals robbed an establishment selling vape pens at gunpoint in an industrial estate in Malaga, where they took loot valued at more than 10,000 euros. The assault, which was recorded by the store's various security cameras, occurred shortly after ten in the morning in a store located in the El Viso industrial estate.
A white van has parked a few meters from the entrance and from it three robbers have emerged who,
dressed in balaclavas, gloves and armed with a sawed-off shotgun and a pistol
, have entered the premises, where there was a saleswoman, and have taken several boxes full of Muss brand vapes.
Mariano, co-owner of this firm and partner of the store owner, explained to EFE that the assailants did not harm the worker, who suffered a nervous breakdown, and that one of them even calmed her down by telling her that they were not going to hurt her. to do nothing and brought him a drink.
In just over two minutes, the hooded men took several boxes from the sales area and the warehouse, loaded them into the van and fled in a hurry.
Mariano claims that
this is the third time that this store has suffered a robbery
, although the previous two times occurred at night. On this occasion it was early on Saturday, a day when the industrial estate registers less activity, since many of the companies are closed, including those adjacent to the raided establishment.
The boxes that the thieves took are valued at more than 10,000 euros, according to Mariano, who assures that vapers are in high demand and that, due to their characteristics, "it is very easy to place the merchandise on the market."
Those responsible for the establishment have reported the events to the Police and hope that the images recorded by the security cameras, both inside the store and on the street, will help identify and arrest the assailants.
