On April 22, 2021 a cash-in-transit heist failed due to the evasive maneuvers and balls of steel this driver has.
Police spokesperson Brigadier Vishnu Naidoo said a group of men tried to rob the CIT vehicle on 22 April on the N4 in Pretoria, South Africa. As the suspects begin firing at the armored van, the driver keeps his composure extremely calm and passes his rifle to his partner.
The driver taking full control of the situation begins maneuvering his vehicle, ultimately pulling a U-Turn and heading straight at the suspects. Warning his partner moments before, "They are going to shoot" as they both brace for what's about to happen. Multiple shots make contact with the armored van as the by-pass the suspects car approaching, but luckily neither of them were hit.
Unfortunately the footage cuts off a few seconds after they pass the armed suspects, but the driver exited the vehicle what seemed to be safely.
The driver in this video is Leo Prinsloo, a former member of the SAPS Special Task Force, and also the head instructor for Fortis Pro Active Defence’s Lone Operator courses. Leo also is the founder of The Edge Shooting Academy in Centurion.

Fun fact! The robbers were actually listening to the same radio station as the armored vehicle driver in order to skirt any potential legal consequences of performing an armed robbery. Unfortunately they forgot to realize that the armored vehicle driver was also dialed-in to the power and freedom of consequence of the freebird solo.

Ehh, it's not pirated. Or else it would be activated? 😅 ..

Mine wasn't pirated, still had that for years until i activated windows.

The most impresive fact is, that the van was able to hold that speeds with the weight of the drivers massive balls of steel.
He was driving! Mad skills at the wheel! He was twisting that steering wheel like it was coming off the shaft!

And then he tries to hand it back later, X D
He was like "oh shit, I should have applied for a job at McDonald's instead."
@@TheBearInTheChair I think his job was to keep the rifle ready to hand off to the older guy if they couldn't escape, which explains why he got his sidearm out first, he wasn't expecting to be the one with the rifle, so once they started getting away he took control over the rifle himself.

Dude its an AR-15 not much bite.

For those that haven’t read the full details on this incident, they were transporting a high value shipment of cell phones. The armed gang bribed police to get the journey details, then used signal jammers to stop the security team from calling for backup while they ambushed them with 3 vehicles and a roadblock. The guy on the passenger side was 4 days into the job, so you’d forgive him for looking slightly concerned while a bunch of AK-toting dickheads tried to murder him for a box of phones 😂. The driver was a swat (equivalent in South Africa) veteran. This video became great marketing for the company that modifies the vehicles with armor.
ruclips.net/video/lsu6AhYzG_4/видео.html
Thanks for the background info.
The shooters were attempting to get rounds through the weak point between the door and the frame, these particular vehicles were outfitted with extra armour round that point and was probably what stopped entry into the cab, a tumbling round in the cab would have been messy

Makes it not so bad sitting behind bulletproof glass. Still gotta get away, but you're not ducking flying bullets and glass. Guy driving is really good at his job. I love the music, but the first thing I do under stress while driving is turn down the radio. Could be that he had tunnel vision so bad that he didn't notice the radio.

Passenger has a gun in both hands amd then homeboy turns around and chases the shooters down. Freaking legends
It looked to me like he double back and managed to get some of them to wreck. At the end someone was on foot trying to shoot the passenger.
No he doesn't!
Too be honest, it is the dudes first week of the day cut him some dam slack people in the comments.
@@victordobin5918 There was a 2nd vehicle ahead stopped and men were waiting outside with guns. He does swerve over a few lanes and tries to run them down. He then turns around in the other direction and drives past them on the other side of the highway. There is a video on donut operator where he shows the front outside view dash cam.
@@eroccha
He didn't try to run them down, that was a maneuver to get them out of the way, to distract them, to make them take evasive action, if he ran them over he could have damaged the vehicle putting it out of commission.
This is very good what an amazing driver.
It's even more impressive when you realize how clunky those up-armored vehicles actually are. See, they're so heavy from being up-armored that they also need to have their suspension upgraded. So while it's a normal size vehicle, it's more like driving a box truck with how much weight is on it.
@@bebop_557 how big of a box truck?
@@AluxGamez If this helps to put it in perspective: Up-armored normal cars are typically about as maneuverable as an ambulance. Usually, on top of the suspension being rebuilt and upgraded, you also lose the ability to roll down the windows and your MPG absolutely tanks. Given how that's a proper manual gearbox, because South Africa, I would wager the transmission probably isn't stock either and the engine probably has extra torque to compensate for the increase in weight.
@@bebop_557 yeah... so basically a semi truck?
@@AluxGamez like the 2500 3500 u huals

Lol. That guy looks like the one they were speaking about when they said you never know who you're f ing with.
Gordon Freeman is a prime example
The man driving has been waiting for this moment his whole life.
The man driving looks like an accountant.
If someone looks like an accountant and obviously knows how to wield a rifle, you are looking at the real deal.
So this is definitely not his first rodeo. His internal monologue probably was "Aww shit, here we go again. Why do these people continue to make such bad life-decisions".
@@AntonGudenus dude actually veteran

wrong, he is very experienced in these situations
Whatever amount the security company pays the driver,it's not enough.
If its anything like the ones me and friends work for they write you up. Most management see their contractors as "legal fluff" or a write off. Cool story to tell tho
After all the adrenaline has subsided, he must have thanks the heavens about the well made custom armor on that damn truck. Kudos to the mechanics and technicians.
All this, while he's driving a manual.

in stress it is he was shot multiple times were you in this type of situation?
@@joseworld9380 After more than a month practice, it really is second nature. Even in stressful situations.
Honestly? You just don't even think about it while doing, just become the normal to drive one hand in the stick and the other on the wheel, but still very cool considering the pressure
tell me you're a yank without telling me you're a yank.
This legit looks like some badass who has a hell of a backround in the military was on desk duty for the last 5 years until a driver called out sick on some poor sap's first day of training. Could easily write a movie based on this 2 minute clip.
Actually the driver is ex Police Task Force, highly trained operators and sought after in the private security sectors. Seach Taakmag and you will be surprised, make many special forces look very amateur. Takkies👊
Read the description. He's basically Rambo as an old man.
Yes, he legit has a badass background. Hella FAFO type guy. :)
Stealth is optional for the mission
Balls of steel, both of them. Stayed calm and composed which is something, I doubt very seriously, 99% of folks could do. I am so glad they weren't hurt.
This is so badass I’ve watched it several times. Of course in South Africa this is now an everyday occurrence.

0:25 The look of grit on the drivers face is badass AF
"Oh, you wanna play rough? Game on, fuckers"
actually fairly close to what he said when I saw the unedited footage of this engagement.
it ends with him getting the van stuck and grabbing the AR , jump out and sent some hothate back on the bad guys.
he was a combat vet..
The driver looks and acts just like one of the drivers in the movie "Bullet" with Steve McQueen. Very famous car chase. Props to the driver, he kept his cool and got them the hell out of there.

I love these two guys *so* much.
I'd watch a show based on them lol

Fun Fact: at 1:50 ish, the man driving tried to run over the armed would-be robbers. Unfortunately, they managed to get out of the way
Omg. As a former contractor in Afghanistan. The accountant looking driver is the guy I wanted on my team. He is always ready for action. And calm. And I'm not trying to talk much about the brother with them. But before the first shots were fired you can see the accountant was observing the environment and the other guy was just gazing out the window. Shot starts firing the accountant is like observing overcome. The brother was like oh my God resort to my very limited training provided by my company and pull my sidearm, the accountant is like no I'm driving like a maniac grab this rifle. And the worst part was about 30 seconds later the brother was like trying to hand the accountant the rifle. Not everyone has been through a gunfight. I guarantee you the accountant has been on many gun fights
Anybody got the backstory here?
Agree
The white guy is ex-Task Force. It is a South African police special unit, and those guys are just as hard as South African military special forces.
Always fun to come across dumbass comments like this. The M4 was the drivers and the passenger was only prepping it for him once they came to a stop. He chambers a round and keeps proper safety of 2 loaded firearms during a tense engagement while attempting to text for back up. If you watch the full video the driver grabs the M4 from the passenger as he leaves the vehicle. Also no shit the driver saw the attack first, they attacked his side of the vehicle. I guarantee you haven't been in many or any gunfights
@Anglovox the driver is ex military guy who teaches counter terrorism to police etc. Guy on right was new guy on the job, I believe this happened during his 1st week on the job.
The more intense the driver gets the scarier it is for the guy with the gun

Love it, they both remained calm during this life and death situation.
So no one is going to mention how the other was pulling out his pistol and the driver went like "you kiddin' me boy" and gives him the assault rifle?. That guy had something much stronger than any gun, experience.
Damn props to that driver. He hauls ass in and maneuvers that armored truck like a true professional
Respect. Both for tactical evasion skills and taste in music.
Geez i was holding my breath the entire time
the guy with the AR eyes were so wide I thought they were going to pop out of his head.
Go easy on him, the guy's only 4 days in the job apparently. No joke.
Cool, calm, and collected. Just like you have to be to play that beast of a solo
Side note: activate windows
“The air conditioning is functioning perfectly.”
You can tell from the way he kept checking in the side mirror that the driver knew something was up.
I love how he casually pulls out a fucking assault rifle
I mean i own the basically the exact same one
@@crandonborth Ok?
@@famlrnamemssng My point was… who cares. You can buy one anywhere it’s not some hi tech special forces gear only tier 1 operators get. It’s a semi automatic weapon… nothing else.
@@crandonborth I could be wrong but I don't think it's that simple in South Africa

I love how there are barely a dozen words but we see so much of their characters
I will never not love the professionalism showed by the driver, especially considering the panic of his partner who iirc had been a new hire.
Dude knew what to do when it went down. Didn't hesitate for a second lol
These boys are the real thing. Student/teacher dynamic locked in.
Michael Keaton always plays the best roles.
at first it looked like there were two more guards in the back and I was saying to myself why aren't they not returning fire out the gun ports then realized it was a mirror.
Excellent driving by the driver and keeping their cool as well, even the guys in the back getting tossed around.
The most dangerous job in the world but this guy kicks in 😮
I'm not so sure I agree with you. It's probably up there on the list, but your every day cop/sheriff's deputy doesn't ride around in a bullet proof car. And people don't try to kill them for money, just for 10 different reasons.
Driver Is the man. Did his job, did the other ones' job too. Give him the rifle, gave him the phone, cussing like a sailor all the way. It ended when they got stuck, driver grabbed the rifle, got out the armored car and went to work.
He looks like the most badass call of duty general ever
I can’t be the only one that comes back to this now and then for just a quick shot to the heart of badass-ery 😅
The guy in the passenger seat looked as clueless as the random guy who beams down on Star Trek. Just needed the red shirt.
Never a dull moment in South Africa.
