Reports are that the police told the man to call back five minutes later. When he called again the police informed him that they had informed the patrol and they were on their way.
The bandits were still in the store when the second call was made, this newspaper learnt.
Shafeek said that the police did not go to the scene but instead said that they went to Albion opposite another old cinema to look for his store.
He was concerned that the police made no effort to visit the scene until around 7 am.
