The Shopping Centre Armed Robbery Thread....

I heard stories about people nearly being hijacked in Cavendish Square's parking lot recently.
This is true. Happened to my neighbour. As she was approaching car a woman came up to her and said "I have gun in bag - give me keys or else". My neighbour called her bluff and ran away.
 
JafMed pharmacy was robbed a few nights ago. Ottery (CPT). A bunch of armed men stormed in took what they wanted.

Don't know where this lady got the video from but - https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=833508126671234

You know what, I really hope I never encounter a situation like that. I think I would most likely just lose it and go all Rambo. I know its easy to say that sitting behind a laptop, but just watching that video made my blood boil.
 
A pet shop in CapeGate on Monday morning became the sixth shop in this centre to be hit by armed robbers this year.

“Three armed robbers all dressed the same, in dark shirts, dark blue denims and dark caps, entered Perky Pets petshop at the Checkers entrance at about 09:00,” says Warrant Officer Erica Crous, Brackenfell police spokesperson.

“The men pretended to be looking for something to buy, but when they took the product to the cash register they pointed a firearm at the cashier and forced her to the back office. A centre security guard standing nearby was also spotted and dragged inside the shop to the back,” she says.

They took an undisclosed amount of money from the safe and the cash register and then fled the centre on foot.

Crous says that the centre has made video footage available to the police to assist with the investigation.

No arrests have been made.
