JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Four robbers used a bulldozer to try to smash open a cash machine in a South African shopping mall early on Friday but fled empty-handed when they were unable to open the safe, Sapa news agency reported.
The gun-wielding thieves tied up two security guards at the shopping complex in Vosloorus on the outskirts of the commercial capital Johannesburg before ramming the stolen bulldozer into the wall in which the cash machine was built, Sapa said.
Crime-plagued South Africa is experiencing a wave of violence in its shopping malls, once a haven from the lawlessness of the streets outside.
