A video of an armed business robbery has been released online via Yusuf Abramjee.
The video shows two men enter a business in Thohoyandou, Limpopo and immediately aim their weapons at the business workers. With weapons being aimed directly they are forced to hit the floor in submission.
The thieves can be seen forcing the workers to hand over money whilst striking the man in the face multiple times.
The thieves got away with an undisclosed amount of money, the workers were left shocked but unharmed.
Users on Twitter have mentioned that the area has been increasing in crime recently and urged drastic measures to be in place to prevent it from escalating further.
To be honest Thohoyandou had become a dangerous place to live, do business & call home. @SAPoliceService something drastic need 2 b done or else u'll witness cape flats whereby residents are armed daily. @RonaldLamola shift courts presiding officers they're shielding criminals.
