A heavily armed group of men stormed a fuel station in Seshego, Polokwane, South Africa and wreaked havoc on the filling station while blowing up ATMs and safes.

The suspects were said to be carrying rifles, and pistols and set off several explosives.

According to Colonel Malesela Ledwaba, a spokesman for the South African Police Service (SAPS), the suspects attacked the fuel station outside Seshego near Magofe without worrying about being confronted by security guards. 

“According to the information received, an unknown number of men armed with rifles and pistols stormed the garage’s kiosk and ordered everyone to lie on the ground.

“These men allegedly proceeded to the store where they opened the Capitec ATM, and also detonated the drop-in safe, which caused extensive damage to the whole store and stock,” said the police spokesperson.
