Police in the Northern Cape are on the hunt for four men who robbed the Windsorton police station on Wednesday night.

Windsorton is about 60km north of Kimberley.

It is alleged that four men – who were armed – entered the station, attacked and tied up two officers who were on duty, before robbing them of their service pistols.

You gotta have some big 'ol cojones to rob a police station, for firearms no less. Though if it's one of these pop-up type stations made out of cardboard then I guess you can understand the brazenness of the criminals.

It’s nothing to do with that. It’s a sad reflection on the quality of our police. This should be a big deal. It’s a police station FFS. It doesn’t require ‘cojones’ to take candy from a baby.

Actually probably quite easy, small town, mid week, night time, nobody would be expecting anything, element of surprise.Surprised it doesnt happen more often.
