We’ve seen our fair share of CCTV footage showing armed robberies.

Few are as callous and infuriating as the one that you’re about to watch.

A video is doing the rounds on social media showing a women leaving a daycare in Pretoria with a child.

A blue car is parked in the driveway of the daycare centre, and a man can be seen approaching her with what appears to be a gun.

The woman seems to argue with him, while the child cries, before he kicks the woman in the stomach, and heads back to the car.

The man driving the car leaves it briefly to pick up something that the first thief dropped.

This is horrifying:

I have no words.

News24 reports that an investigation into armed robbery is well underway.

Here’s Lyttleton police spokesperson Captain David Miller, who says that the suspects made off with jewellery:

“As far as I’m aware, the victim did not suffer any serious injury as a result of the attack.”

Miller said that it was important to make people aware of various safety tips when approached by attackers.

“Your life is more important in these scenarios. If you are in a situation where your life is not threatened, you should co-operate. They just want your property”.

The woman received some post-trauma counselling after the incident, but this sort of thing tends to stay with you.

I hope the child received some counselling, too.

She looked terrified.
