VIDEO: Resident shoots at robbers
JOBURG - AN attempted robbery was foiled after the victim shot at the alleged suspects.
UPDATE: 5.20PM;
The Rosebank Killarney Gazette has learnt that the video below was in fact taken in Brazil.
According to LiveLeaks.com an off-duty police officer had just arrived home when three suspects forced their way through the garage door.
Despite the reports received, which lead the Gazette to believe the incident had occurred in Johannesburg, the Gazette can now confirm the video was not in fact related to South Africa in any way.
Initial report:
EBlockwatch founder and Bryanston resident Andre Snyman recently released a video detailing an attempted robbery which was foiled after the victims fought back.
The video, which surfaced on 20 May, shows a silver Toyota driving into a garage. As the garage doors close, three suspects sneak into the garage. One of the suspects makes his way to the passenger’s door, but is shot by the car’s occupant before the would-be thieves make their getaway.
Snyman said the resident who sent the video and the exact location of the attempted robbery have been excluded as the resident would like to remain anonymous.
Watch the video below:
Snyman added that the video was sent through the EBlockwatch Street Talker Whatsapp group.
He urged community members to join the eBlockwatch Whatsapp group called by saving the number 074 107 5599 to their contacts under the name eBlockwatch Street Talker.
