The gun holder had sent his friend to the house to check on it when he realized the said incident.

This was an Ethiopian caretaker he had reportedly left to take care of the house went missing and could not be reached on the phone.

The friend opened the door using a spare key sent from France and realized the house turned upside down.

Police said the house had been ransacked and the weapon missing from a safe.

The gang then fired into the air as they escaped using motorcycles that were waiting in the Tuesday night drama.
