The Shopping Centre Armed Robbery Thread....

The customer wanting to deposit R270 000-00 must have many questions to answer around money laundering.
With that amount of cash he should be using a service from one of the cash in transit companies.

Also seems this was not a random robbery,some one seems to have known he would deposit that money, he needed better security steps for that amount of cash
 
I was at the Cradlestone Shopping Centre on the Wet Rand a few months ago (Sunday 15 June 2014) when just before we arrived, cops had barricaded and cordoned off a section of the entrance.

They robbed the jewelry store. Bunch of thugs came in as customers and then started shooting it up.

Here is a pic of some of the damage caused.

With our levels of unemployment, there's no room for unskilled foreigners. They come here without proper papers, can't get decent work (if at all), then what else they going to do - help themselves to whatever they want. Send them back for good!

No, lock them up here first, then send back.

They will just hop over the fence again....
 
Things seem to have been quiet for a week now.
Maybe they got the right scumbags?
 
JHB CELLPHONE SHOP ROBBED

A cellphone shop was robbed at Benmore shopping centre in Sandton, north of Johannesburg, Gauteng police said on Thursday.

Armed robbers came in and pointed a firearm at the security guard and an employee, said Lt-Col Khensani Magoai.

"They took them to the storeroom, forced them to open the safe, and took an undisclosed number of cellphones."

Last week, Gauteng police commissioner Lt-Gen Lesetja Mothiba said the province's malls had been robbed 11 times since August 13.

On September 9, a robbery took place at an Altech Autopage cellphone store at the Glen shopping centre in Ormonde. Three armed robbers stole 15 cellphones worth R34,000.

The Samsung, iStore, and Vodacom shops in the same mall had all been robbed since November last year.

Earlier this month, a G4S security guard was shot dead when four men robbed him and his colleagues of cash they had collected from the Diepkloof Black Chain shopping centre in Soweto.

A Samsung shop was robbed at the Cradlestone mall in Krugersdorp, on the West Rand, on September 5.

Police said the robbers made off with cellphones and tablets worth hundreds of thousands of rand.

A Timberland clothing store at the World Wear shopping centre in Fairlands, Johannesburg, was robbed. Eight men took all the clothing in the shop and an undisclosed amount of money.

On September 3, the Telkom Connect shop in the Eastgate shopping centre was robbed of cellphones and an undisclosed amount of cash.

A cellphone store in Northgate mall was robbed on September 2.

A Telkom Direct store at Kolonnade shopping centre in Pretoria, was robbed on the same day.

Magoai said a case of business robbery was being investigated.
