After only a few minutes and a short walk down the busy road, two men approach the robber and then demand he give them all his belongings, which he quickly does, obviously very fearful for his life.
"HILLBROW CELLPHONE SNATCHING FROM TAXIS ON THE INCREASE! BE WARNED!!! 3/4," the clip was captioned.
Locals were left feeling perplexed by the clip and could not believe what they had just watched. Many of them took to the comment section to express their concern. Read a few of their comments below:
@LivingstonMasa4 asked:
"Eban what just happened here?"
@ModisakengMusa said:
"He got robbed after robbing someone."
@lionel_khoza said:
"For a minute, I thought active surveillance undercover operatives of @JoburgMPD were arresting him. We can't successfully eradicate serious crime without dealing with this petty crime. Crime is like any system, it rewards success where petty thieves graduate to something bigger."
