A potential robbery in Morningside, Johannesburg has been foiled thanks to the 'windows of steel' on a motorist's car. 

CCTV footage shows a car pulling up to a boom gate and going inside. Within seconds, three men were hot on its heels, attempting to hijack the car. 

One of the men attempted to use a weapon to break the passenger side window. When he realises that he failed to smash the window, he continues to smash it harder and harder - but nothing happens. 

This caused the men to run away and the car made off safely without a scratch.

The footage was uploaded to Intelligence Bureau's Facebook page and has over 10,000 views at the time of writing.

These windows are absolutely impressive!
