According a report by The Chronicle which was read on UTV news, the first two police officers who arrived at the scene saw their guns fail them.
The report said the police officers had wanted to retaliate after the robbers opened fire on them but their guns failed to fire.
It further stated that the guns of the officers failed to fire because they hadn’t been serviced and were, therefore, not ready for use.
Meanwhile, five suspects who are allegedly involved in the robber have been apprehended by the Police.
