The robbers broke into the store and hauled away computer hardware while the guard fled the scene, according to reports.
The security guard stepped into his car and blocked the van's path while they were busy loading the stuff into their van.
Two video clips of the robbery, believed to have been captured by a nearby bystander, showed the criminals, who were wearing face masks and dark jackets, going about their business while a burglar alarm blared.

In another video, a security guard constantly honks his car horn to attract attention before ramming into the van and obstructing it.
His actions enraged a burglar, who hurled an object at his car.
Despite his valiant efforts to stop the intruders, the crooks were able to flee with the stolen goods by jumping into their vehicles.
According to The Sun Daily, Kajang police chief, ACP Mohd Zaid Hassan said the security guard was unharmed, however, his car was badly damaged as he was using it to stop the burglars from escaping.
It is believed that the store suffered a loss amounting to RM70,000 and it is currently being investigated as an armed gang robbery.
Oh dear, that must be so scary! We’re glad the security guard is okay, he was so brave!
