They took the security officer’s pistol from him and took control of the trolley of cash. The security officer was not able to tell what vehicle the suspects had used for their getaway. Meanwhile, he informed that his weapon was a Norinco pistol.
The reaction unit of South Africa has established that the victim was not injured in the robbery attempt. The lack of injury on the person of the security officer makes several persons believe that it was an inside job.
Meanwhile, some of the social media users have also appreciated the security officer for his self-preservation instinct. They believe that it was right to not fight back and protect himself as he could even have lost his life if he struggled.
Further, people have also expressed their distaste for the administration’s actions when it comes to tackling crime. The social media users said, there is more to come. This province is going backwards fast. The funny thing is that nothing is being done about crime and murders in KZN.
“The leaders are on Autopilot mode” said a social media user.
