It just seems as though thieves are becoming more brazen by the day, having no respect for human lives, the law, and law enforcement.

While wandering the internet, I came across this insane CCTV footage posted by News24 showing three men blowing up and robbing sections of a petrol station in Orange Farm, Johannesburg.

It is reported that staff of the station were alerted when they heard a really loud sound. When they went to check what was going on, they witnessed the suspects blowing up the ATM machine.

In a blur of smoke and a shootout between the suspects and police, 12 empty rifle cartridges were found on the scene, a 9mm gun, and two projectiles. However, no arrests were made. I'm just glad that no one was injured in this insane heist as it could have been deadly for anyone who walked in.
