The masked men, who arrived in two Toyota Quantums and a bakkie, also took computers, cellphones and other personal belongings from staff members.

Shocked staff did not want to speak on camera. They say the attack happened at around noon on Wednesday. 

First, two men casually walked in and asked for two vehicles.

When staff refused, about 40 people barged onto the floor room and started jumping on the cars and breaking their windscreens. Police are investigating cases of businesses robbery and malicious damage to property.

A case of extortion is also not being ruled out. Staff members have denied the incident is related to protection money.
