A cash-in-transit heist was caught on camera, and the video went viral. The video shows how the thugs place explosives under the vehicle, detonate it and then make off with the money. South Africans weighed in on the video, with some believing that they walked away empty-handed and others thinking it's only a matter of time before they get caught.
@AdvoBarryRoux posted the video on X. In the video, a man seems concealed to record the whole action. A G4S van is shown in the picture with the back of the truck opened. Two suspects run in the direction behind the van, and three more are standing a few metres before it. Two white cars, a BMW and an SUV, are parked nearby.
The video shows the first two suspects stopping a black car. Next to the two white vehicles, the suspects take a few steps backwards. Suddenly, the van explodes, and the white BMW immediately reverses. Three suspects approach the van and appear to be making off with a few money trolleys. Watch the video here:
