Watch this new heart-pounding edit of last year's South African armored car heist

I feel for the new recruit on his fourth day.

“So, uh, does this kind of thing happen often?”

“Usually not more than twice a day.”

“Oh. That’s good.”

I wonder about the wisdom of leaving your armored vehicle to take a shot at the heavily-armed dudes who’ve just tried to jack you, but I guess that if you’re a sitting duck you don’t really just want to sit and wait for them to put holes in your bulletproof glass from close range. Your best dee-fense is a good o-ffense, as they say. The glass held up nicely, though.

EDIT: I Googled for “N4 highway armed robbery” and Google’s response was basically “Which one?” It sounds like that particular road is … bad … when it comes to high-speed shoot-outs between armored trucks and heavily-armed gangs. Gotta make for a stressful commute.
