Robbers forced the gas station cashier to open the safe and give money under the threat of shooting

Police in South Africa are searching for about 20 armed men who attacked a petrol station in Limpopo province. The criminals threatened employees with weapons, opened an ATM and a safe, stole money and fled after the shooting. Details were reported by the South African Police Service.

The attack took place on November 7 at around 03:30 in the Madombij area. At this point, the cashier was at the workplace and noticed a large group of young men near the building.

One of the visitors purchased a voucher, after which the employee heard how other members of the group discussed the intention to enter the room. Some of them had firearms.

After some time unknown broke into the garage door and entered the building. They demanded that the cashier open the main door, but he refused.

Then the attackers took out pepper spray and threatened to shoot the man. Fearing for his life, the employee complied.

The robbers ordered him to lie down on the floor. They then damaged the ATM and took the money inside.

After that, the criminals opened the safe fixed on the wall, stole its contents and reached the cash register. The employee was also forced to issue a voucher.

The attack didn't end there. One of the gas station workers, at the request of armed men, filled two tanks of 25 liters with gasoline. The robbers didn't pay for the fuel. Before fleeing, the gang members fired several shots in the street, after which they fled.

The amount of the stolen amount has not yet been disclosed by police. Information about the victims in the official report is not available. Law enforcement agencies opened a criminal case on the fact of armed robbery and organized a large-scale search for the participants of the attack.
