WATCH | 'Even robbers are not safe in SA' - video of slithering man stealing from armed robber has social media in stitches

Video footage of an improbable "robbery within a robbery" is being circulated on social media, leaving South Africans perplexed.

"Even the robbers are not safe in this country," @LusaphoLuuh9 said on Twitter.

The incident happened at a Shoprite Usave supermarket.

Video footage shows the gun-wielding robber stuffing notes from a till into his bag.

The robber points his gun at two staff members, who cower in fear behind the counter.

Then, out of seemingly nowhere, a man leopard crawls across the floor, picking up some of the notes that had fallen on the ground.

Full story and video

I don't see the robber being threatened other than another robber taking the opportunity created by the other robber to also participate in the same crime.

Who knows, may have even been his accomplice who scouted the place.

pretty soon armed robbery will have to be legalized to make taxation of this untapped income stream easier

What a lot of risk for a couple of hundred rands. Damn.

The man on the ground is either a druggie or an accomplice.

He is an accomplice.

He is an accomplice.

Looks like a street kid to me. Would explain the raggedy clothes compared to the other guy and why he's willing to risk his life for a couple of notes.

I thought there was a second when the gunman looks at him slithering close to him, I don't see why he would be prepared to have such a risk of someone coming so close to him while he is conducting his business.

My thoughts too, they never work alone!

IMO he saw he's just a kid and doesn't perceive him as a threat.
