Sometimes I just want to do a story that doesn't involve a death.....

Gone in just 2 minutes

One of five thieves makes his way into the Digicape store after smashing the front door with a crowbar. Another helps himself to iMacs in the stockroom.

These images from CCTV footage show a brazen gang smashing into the Digicape store in the city centre and making off with more than half a million rand’s worth of high-end Apple products within minutes.

The two incidents captured on the footage show the gang making off with their loot in two minutes.

The Roeland Street shop, which mostly sells Apple products, was also broken into last November when products worth R250 000 were stolen.

In the latest incident on Wednesday, the robbers used a crowbar to smash the window at about 2.34am. Five men then set about taking iPads, iMacs, Macbooks and processors, among other equipment, from the shop and stock room.
