The rise of CTI robberies is of great concern in Mzansi. Online users responded to the post with their views on the incident:
@PatrickTPhatudi said:
How can a person put his /her life in danger for money? Insurance will pay or replace the money but life won't be replaced.”
@Portiarankoko reacted:
“You know what opportunity I see here. If petrol attendant were equipped with tear gas they could have thrown one or two canisters in the getaway vehicle. I promise you the police would have found them in that garage.”
@Jan_Van_Schaik commented:
“However, petrol attendants are the first persons to run for hiding. Pity they not trained for these incidents!”
@siri_siraj responded:
“It looks like those guys ran on foot coz 1. Their car was damaged 2. They all couldn't fit in the car and therefore the doors couldn't close.”
@LAWRENC2505581 said:
“I have noticed that the fidelity security personnel take too long to do their job. The company MUST improve the time/period it takes for collection. In and out in a flash!!”
