Taxi passengers and other motorists witnessed a robbery on a random Wednesday.

In a TikTok video uploaded by @picaflo_sa, cars are at traffic lights. One vehicle became a victim of thieves who stopped next to it. A few thugs came out and robbed the people who were in the other car.

While the incident happened, motorists were just watching and not doing anything. The incident happened in Kyalami, Johannesburg. It is not clear if anyone was injured or what was taken by the thugs.

Man steals bike worth R18k off a car in traffic

In another story, Briefly News reported about an Eastern Cape man who stole an R18k bike that was hanging on the back of a car.

TikTok user @newsnexussa shared a video that was taken of a man stealing R18k bike off a car in traffic in Eastern Cape while bystanders sat and watched it happen. So many people couldn’t believe that people sat and watched the man stealing and did absolutely nothing.
