Armed Response

Limpopo police have launched a manhunt for three robbers who stormed and attempted to burgle a cellphone store in the Polokwane CBD last week Wednesday but were overpowered by shoppers.
“According to the preliminary investigations, four men went to the shop where they attacked and pointed a firearm. During the ordeal, people realised that only one of them actually had a firearm and they fought back,” said police spokesperson Col. Moatshe Ngoepe.
The video begins with petrified shoppers lying on the floor with their lives being threatened by a robber with a firearm. The robber that was already in the store started signaling for his gang to enter the shop to start robbing the store.
The men stroll into the store, just as casually as someone who would be walking into the store to actually purchase a cellphone, not steal one (or more).
A man in the background shuffles ever so slowly to the armed robber while the men stroll into the cellphone shop. Without a moment’s hesitation the man grabs two of the criminals simultaneously to stop this crime from happening and having multiple lives threatened.
Immediately, some of the other shopper’s instincts kicked in and joined the heroic man to help with overpowering the thieves.
Three men were able to escape while the fourth, who had a firearm, was held and later arrested.
