Watch: Robbers make stealing a mobile phone look easy

A new video has emerged showing the ease at which criminals ply their trade in South Africa.

The video, posted on YouTube by CrimeWatch, shows two brazen men enter what is believed to be Goldwagen, a supplier of replacement car parts in Krugersdorp.

The two men lean over the counter as they pretend to be customers, waiting to be served.

While they wait for an attendant, they lean further over the counter to scan the work surface, before casually helping themselves to a mobile phone while one of the employees at Goldwagen continues to serve a customer, completely oblivious to the events only a few feet away.
