A man was robbed of his laptop in broad daylight on Mandela Road, moments after he left FNB bank.

When the man realised he was being followed on August 15, he drove to a local car dealership.

He got out of his v bakkie, locked it, and walked towards the car he suspected was following him.

The video shows two men emerging from the car, one of them was armed.

The robbers walked back to their car, took out a tool from the boot and smashed the window of the man’s bakkie, grabbed a laptop, and fled the scene.

Police spokesperson Captain Eddie Hall issued a strong warning to the public to avoid withdrawing large amounts of cash from banks.

“Syndicates have ‘spotters’ who operate from inside the bank. They communicate all the details to their accomplices outside, who are ready to pounce on any unsuspected victim,” Hall said.

“Avoid transacting with large sums of cash, try to use alternative payment methods such as your card, or electronic facilities. Always be observant when carrying large sums of cash. If you suspect you are being followed, report to the police immediately.”
