Watch: Truck caught up in steel cable trap set up by robbers

Robbers have devised yet another way of disabling trucks or any vehicle, for the purposes of robbing their victims.

In a recent video shared by CPF Lephalale, a truck was caught up in this dangerous trap which is suspected to have occurred in Hammanskraal near Pretoria.

It’s alleged that the robbers lay the steel cable across the road tying it on both ends.

When a vehicle comes, it crashes into the cable causing it to crash.

The robbers go on to rob the victims of their belongings.
