According to police, the incident occurred at around 6 p.m. on Sunday at Alphana Centre along Mombasa Road.
The robbery was reported later in the evening by a representative of a Security Company, which provides security services at the premises, after night guards alerted the company to the break-in.

Police said the gang then cut the padlocks to Godown No. 8, which stores aluminium products, and Godown No. 10, which deals in duvet blankets, before making away with goods whose value is yet to be established.
The owners of the affected godowns have been notified and are expected to visit the premises to conduct a stock assessment and determine the value and quantity of the stolen items.
