    To all of you with a hangover and the desire for today to end as quickly as possible, I’m sure you’re not the only one.

    To those of you who with foresight, who booked today off and are enjoying a four-day weekend, well played.

    Here we are, anyway, and I suppose we should get a heist story out of the way.

    Videos like this are why I’m always uncomfortable when I see a cash-in-transit van around. Things look to be going fine, all is in order, and then in a split second there are people with guns and all hell breaks loose.

    Before we watch the video, let’s get the basics via TimesLIVE:

    An armed gang made off with an undisclosed amount of money after a cash heist at a petrol station in Witpoortjie, Roodepoort.

    Fidelity CEO Wahl Bartmann said officers were collecting cash when they were attacked at about 11am on Tuesday…

    “We are very concerned about the spike in incidents. We definitely saw a decline in the first half of the year but this is changing rapidly,” said Bartmann.

    People are desperate, and sadly that’s going to mean heists become increasingly frequent.

    Keep an eye on the gold Mercedes-Benz parked in front of the van, which blocks the escape route off:

    At least this was done without explosives, which was prudent, given that it took place at a petrol station.

    Bartmann said no arrests had been made, and police could not comment on the matter.
