I was shocked when I heard this news. I didn't believe it at all when my uncle told me, because my uncle's friend was there and he called my uncle and told him about the chaos.

This is just unbelievable. I work in one of the shops in Wafi Mall. I had gone home for the day at the time of the incident but my co-workers had witnessed the scene and it was just unbelievable. We even have a video taken from a mobile phone camera of the incident by one of our co-workers. Unbelievable. It is time to question security in shopping malls. Is this a test for all shopping malls and security? There was some panic in our shop as, in such an incident, no one was aware of what to do. The supervisor in charge closed our shop and said we needed to be more aware of what to do in such incidents to avoid panic.

I was visiting the mall last night and saw the robbers running towards the shop. They looked like a bunch of immature people trying to have fun and causing panic among people.

If the assailants were masked, how can we make an assumption about their origin? Maybe such assumptions should be avoided in order to conduct a more professional investigation.

It looks like a very sophisticated crime. Jewellery shops should take more precautions such as: use display cases that are shatter proof and not display a large number of goods tempting to criminals.

This is horrible. I can not imagine such incidents happening in Dubai. It seems to me like another adventure of uncontrolled youth.

I was in Wafi City at 9:30pm. It was quiet. I have never heard that kind of silence in the mall, and I am a frequent visitor of Wafi City.

I drive a grey Audi and last night I was stopped by a policeman. The police searched my car and told me it was because a similar car was used to rob a jewellery store.
