Published 3 years ago
On April 28, 2021 an armed robbery took place at the Pavilion shopping mall in Westville, South Africa. The group of gang members entered the mall, where they were later spotted smashing in the glass door of a jewelry store with a hammer.
Reports state the suspects then held an employee at gun point as they demanded access to all the stores show cases and locked safes. This has been the only video released thus far of the incident. Luckily a by-standers caught the tail-end moments after the robbery took place.
The suspects are visibly seen with firearms and can be heard exchanging rounds with security, as they drag an extremely large bag of what we could assume to be money and jewels. Later reports are still saying there is an undisclosed amount of jewels and money missing, after the suspects made an escape Wednesday evening.
As for injuries, one civilian was caught in the shootout cross fire and was hit by a round in the knee. The store employee sustained assault wounds from the initial robbery.
