Armed suspects held up staff and blew up a safe and ATM during a dramatic early morning robbery at a Sasol filling station in Standerton, all caught on surveillance cameras.
Surveillance cameras at the Sasol filling station in FD Viljoen Street in Standerton captured the armed robbery and blowing up of a drop-in safe in the kiosk at the filling station this morning.
According to Standerton police spokesperson, Captain Braam Robberts, five employees and a security guard were on duty at the time of the attack.
One of the petrol attendants was sitting in his private vehicle in front of the kiosk when he was ambushed by two armed suspects, believed to have approached from behind the building.
The attendant was forced into the kiosk, where the rest of the staff were held at gunpoint and ordered to lie on the floor. Moments later, suspects detonated an explosive device to access the drop-in safe. A second blast targeted an ABSA ATM located at the front of the premises.
