Re: Shopping Mall Robberies Thread
I also know someone who is the manager for a large mall in Durban - they had an incident recently at a jewelry store and got a security company to come in and advise. They were advised that emphasis would be put on identifying the criminals and bringing them to justice, not on stopping them there and then. They were told definitely not to use armed guards.
Personally I think they have their heads in the sand but I don't care as I don't frequent that mall. I do know someone on this forum went into said jewelry store a week after the incident carrying with no problems.

Re: Shopping Mall Robberies Thread
I hear you, same I will not actively get involved in a robbery situation if not directly threatened.
But I think they are making the mistake by assuming the armed robbers are rational thinking people, there have been enough evidence to show that these guys will physically assault people which can lead to permanent brain injury and open fire indiscriminately even if nobody is armed or opening fire upon them. By doing nothing they "indirectly encouraging" more robberies which also increases the risk of innocent people getting hurt or killed.
They can have better and armed security; with proper security systems in place I'm sure they can confront the gangs before they enter the mall.
From the press releases and interviews it is clear that mall management's ONLY concern is the bottom line.

I remember when Makro stores in Cape Town all had a guy in the parking lot with a shotgun.

Gauteng-rooftogte: 5 vas ná roof by Centurion Mall
17 Oktober 2014
Phillip Bruwer
Vyf vermeende rowers is Vrydag in hegtenis geneem ná ʼn gewapende roof vroeër die oggend by ʼn selfoonwinkel by Centurion Mall in Pretoria.Die vyf rowers wat ná die rooftog by die Centurion Mall in hegtenis geneem is. Foto: Verskaf
ʼn Groep rowers het omstreeks 11:00 op die Vodacom-selfoonwinkel in die sentrum toegeslaan en ʼn aantal elektroniese toestelle gesteel.
Die rowers het probeer vlug, maar is buite die sentrum deur die polisie voorgekeer. ʼn Oor-en-weer-skietery het uitgebreek waarna die rowers in hegtenis geneem is. Die polisie het op vuurwapens beslag gelê. Twee sakke vol gesteelde selfone en elektroniese toestelle is in hul besit gevind.
Kaptein Doniah Mothutsane, ʼn polisiewoordvoerder, het aan Maroela Media gesê die polisie gaan binnekort ʼn persverklaring oor die voorval uitreik.
Dit is een van ʼn reeks rooftogte waar rowers selfoonwinkels in gewilde winkelsentrums in Gauteng teiken en daarop toeslaan. Soortgelyk rooftogte begin ook in Kaapstad toeneem.
