The 90-second clip captures the sheer terror of Sasol employees and patrons as a gang of five men storm the garage in Middleburg, Mpumalanga, manically brandishing their guns.
One terrified worker is able to lock himself behind a door, whereas others are forced to the floor by the thugs. A fear-stricken female employee is forced at gunpoint to move from her position at the desk.
Once they have made off with electrical goods and cash, the gang then flee. Garage workers rush to console each other after their horrifying ordeal.
Watch: Armed robbery ends in shootout at Durban shopping centre
The footage released only captures a segment of the robbery – which lasted for around four minutes – and shows the petty criminals donned in caps and jackets.
They definitely aren’t the smartest bunch we’ve ever seen, either: They chose to hit the store during an extremely busy time, where lots of customers were in the vicinity.
What’s even stupider is that they have made next to no effort in obscuring their faces. Thanks to the CCTV footage, then men can easily be identified should anyone recognise them.
