    Default Attempted highjacking/armed robbery averted — Woodlands, Pretoria

    I have just been sent the following video and overview from our local CPF.

    Well done to the armed civilian who prevented an attempted armed highjacking / armed robbery from taking place.

    NB. The civilian was in the bronze Toyota (Prado?) and was apparently able to avert the highjacking without firing a shot.

    Remember everybody, you need to EDC every day (not occasionally)!!

    Always good to hear about successful defence where a FA without a shootout stopped the threat.

    Welldone to the civilian!

    Further update from my CPF:

    It’s was a family from Oz’s...” think they followed them from Capital hotel at Menlyn Maine, they loaded luggage from there because they were going to Sun City today, but decided to visit some of their family there first”.

    Luckily he was armed.

    Very well done, I am wondering if the getaway driver ever stopped to pick up his mates.

    It will be interesting to hear how a visiting Oz-guy (tourist) was allowed to carry a handgun (unless a hunting handgun, which I assume is easier to get a permit for)
