Limpopo publication Polokwane Weekly shared CCTV footage of the incident on its @PolokwaneWeekly X account. In the video, the employee is seated at his desk when masked men enter the room, pointing firearms at him. One of them demands that he get down and orders him to open the safe. The other suspects, four in total, proceed to search the office and the employee.

One of them almost smacks the employee but decides against it. While the employee opens the safe, one of the suspects continues to ransack the office, looking for items to steal. The other three nervously hover over the employee who frantically tries to open the safe.
