Armored Truck Heist

[Alexx1401]

The way he was acting I figured he was not just the average Joe, hired to drive from point A to point B. He was amazingly cool while it was going on. His passenger looked ready to panic.

Typical "Brinks" style armored vehicles in the USA have gun ports on them. This one didn't appear to. Those could be helpful in at least getting the bad guys to back off a bit.

Some background on who this guy is and why he has his poop together under fire.

"Prinsloo has a unique set of skills."

I like the wording they used lol...

A new video clip has been released of the failed heist in SA:

It is cut short, unfortunately, but some good stuff... especially the "peaceful protestor vs bumper" move.

He kinda reminds me of Bill Hickman, the cool as ice car driver in the '68 Charger chasing Steve McQueen in the movie Bullitt.

Love how he tries to run them down after they've pulled over the other truck. Too bad they saw him coming.

The driver of a cash truck who dodged armed robbers' bullets was a cool professional. But his partner was a 'rookie,' says security expert.

The viral video showed the elite driving expertise of Leo Prinsloo, ex-police specialist, in evading an armed heist in South Africa.

old news

Why didn't they radio for help ?

Driver did tell his partner to call Josh & Robbie, but it wasn't clear to me what he was doing with the phone once he got it out. That's why I enjoyed this comment so much.





lmao

Leo seems legit.
With all of his apparent firearms and weapons expertise, it's ironic that he's about the ONLY one in this episode who's NOT holding a gun.

I'd like to see more of the forward-facing dashcam video... that PIT maneuver is tough to time on an overtaking vehicle.

That african fellow needs a smaller gun he can actually use in the van. I was surprised he never took any shots.

I don't think you can roll those windows down, and I didn't see any gun ports.

At 0:41 Mr. Prinsloo says "Kom Jy kut" which translates out to "Come you #unt".

Cheers Mr. Prinsloo!

Or collapse the stock of the one in his hands. BTW, they are both African. this went down in Pretoria, South Africa.

 

[hellotyler]

Seems like they should be able to shoot back. Give the poor guys some gunports! That would suck having to run and park the car, and get out of the armor to respond.

 

[Nick Burkhardt]

Like a rifle, but with a shorter barrel. And instead of a fixed stock, how about a brace that you could wrap around your arm.
