    There’s always something satisfying about watching a crook get their comeuppance, which is exactly what happened during this attempted robbery in Durbanville.

    Footage of the incident was first uploaded to social media on Sunday, and it shows how the shop owner, as well as a customer who entered the shop amidst the tussle, managed to fight back.

    Sure, the customer takes his time before getting involved, but in the end, his assistance proves vital.

    TimesLIVE names the customer as Werner Pierre Raal, who had this to say:

    “It’s the shop where I normally buy my Coke [Coca-Cola]. The people always treat you with the utmost respect when you walk into that shop,” he said…

    “When you hear any person or animal scream like that for his life, I just think its human nature to help.

    “The medical team from Basset Security attended to the shop owner when I left. The man who works at the shop told me that his boss [shop owner] was recovering at home. He survived and that’s all that matters.”

    It would be an added bonus if the crook was caught and legally punished for his crime, but it’s unclear whether the police have made any progress on that front.

    You can see Raal enter at around the 1:30 mark, before he grabs that metal rack and gets stuck in:
