Surveillance camera footage from inside a bar in Port Elizabeth, on the southern tip of the continent, show four robbers who make their way into the bar and quickly steal four 40-inch flat-screen televisions. Two of the people are clearly seen, one running to a TV on a wall, the other jumping onto a counter to reach a television above the bar.
This might not be the only case of such a theft. One YouTube video, says, "businesses and homes containing and displaying expensive plasma screen TVs are currently under attack."
Earlier this month that thieves broke into the national headquarters of Good Fellas, an organization that provides designated drivers, and stole 40 flat-screen computer monitors, 20 computers, a television as well as cellphones and wallets. The thieves had to scale a perimeter fence to get in, then ordered four night-shift staff members into a washroom before ransacking the office.
Police in the port city are investigating.
