18th February 2011

Today nothing much to say today. Paris wrote her scholarship exam for a fancy school today, that kinda consumed my day and my days thoughts. Chose todays story because although it shouldn't, it made me laugh...
 
Ambulance leads bank robbers' getaway.

A gang of bank robbers used a hijacked ambulance to get traffic out of the way as they made their escape.
A gang of robbers gave police the slip when they escaped with hundreds of thousands of rand in cash following a daring robbery in Tembisa, using a hijacked ambulance to get traffic out of the way as they made their escape.
The gang, believed to be seven strong, launched their assault on a Nedbank branch at Phumulani Mall, shortly after the bank opened for business on Thursday.
While three of the robbers, armed with semi-automatic assault rifles and handguns, held up security guards and tellers, others took up positions outside the bank and the entrance of the shopping centre.
When the robbers - who are believed to have stolen nearly R300 000 - stormed out of the bank, the gang sped off in a white VW Polo and a white BMW.
In a scene nearly identical to the Al Pacino and Robert de Niro crime hit movie, “Heat”, a private ambulance, which the gang is believed to have hijacked earlier in the week, led the escape.
