The building is fitted with CCTV surveillance cameras, but investigators were unable to immediately review the footage because the security officer responsible for accessing the system was unavailable at the time.

Authorities are expected to review the CCTV footage and pursue other leads to identify and apprehend those behind the daring daytime theft.
The police suspect an inside job in the incident.
This is the latest such incident to happen amid police investigations.
