Free State police spokesperson Brigadier Motantsi Makhele told News24 the owner had routinely checked on the business to see if everything was still in order.
However, when the owner went to the store on Monday, he noticed the main glass door was damaged. He reported the matter to the police.
“A case of business burglary was opened. They broke the burglar gate and entered the store. No arrests have been made yet,” Makhele said.
The sale and transportation of alcohol are banned in the country during the nationwide lockdown.
