Within the blink of an eye, a woman was robbed in broad daylight near Killarney Mall in Johannesburg last week Friday.
A video of the incident emerged on Facebook, posted by Intelligence Bureau SA, and shows the woman standing on the street waiting for the traffic light to turn green, reports News24.
What an obedient citizen.
Occupied by her phone, there are a few other people in the area, and it’s clear something is about to happen; the lone ranger milling around behind her is obviously up to no good:
Just as the woman is about to cross the road at the traffic light, the alleged robber sneaks up behind her and snatches her phone from her hand before running into a getaway car that drove up in front of the woman while she was crossing.
How long had they been waiting to pounce? Damn, take a look yourself towards the end of the video:
So quick, so ruthless – and all for a cellphone.
