According to witnesses, four suspects drove into the access-controlled complex, which has high walls, electric fencing, several cameras and remote-controlled gates.
“How the suspects entered the complex was not suspicious at all because they waited at the gate for someone to open for them. This happened a few moments later and four men drove in. Maybe about five minutes later the car, now with only the driver, drove out. The other three men came running out of the complex on foot just before the gate could close and then ran after the car,” said a 24-year-old man.
