The police, trying to open fire on the thieves as well, cocked their AK-47s only so that they would not fire due to a malfunction.

As a result, the thieves were able to seize an enormous amount of undisclosed money as the police did not arrest them due to their situation.

After the incident, it was discovered that the weapons that were assigned to the police had not been repaired in a long time and that explained their lack of retaliation during the robbery.
