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. - Hry
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.

The fact they look so worried and calm at the same time is hilarious
It's called concentrated, baby!
didnt even play my favorite part where my man legit no hesitation when he gets the van stuck just says "gimme the gun" and jumps out ready to blaze any mfer that tries him legit one of the hardest and coldest real live reaction clips ive seen this man legit puts the whole john wick "man of focus and commitment, and sheer fucking will to shame.
Lmao as if men don’t fantasise about this exact thing happening to them all the time 😂
When you life is at risk, but it's just another Monday and bills need to be paid

Nobody cares what happened to you
Glad you survived.

The fact this was screen recorded with a pirated copy of windows adds to the whole experience.
Pirated? what
Ehh, it's not pirated. Or else it would be activated? 😅 ..
oh god i did not see that bruh LMAO
Mine wasn't pirated, still had that for years until i activated windows.
not pirated its just not activated
the guys driving is so calm it's crazy
Experienced af
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.
I hope you're joking, the music is edited in.@@lying_lynx
@@lying_lynx"but the first thing I do under stress while driving is turn down the radio"
LMFAO
@@lying_lynxhe is former SAS, he quit early and now training people, this is one of his side hustle.
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.
When you in trouble, just play freebird solo
You'll got buff for yourself
That's what I thought. It's perfect for a situation like this one. Good military patrol music.
I wonder if the passenger starts stressing out when he hears Freebird now.
@@lying_lynx debuff effect, my friend
Lynrd Skynrd is a hunting horn / bard main, got it
@@mrbones9332 you goddamn right
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
Homeboy just casually digs out an AR for Juniors first day on the job
The most impresive fact is, that the van was able to hold that speeds with the weight of the drivers massive balls of steel.
Jokes aside, the audacity of some people is absurd
True
Especially in Africa where corrupt cops make it essentially lawless.
blacks for you though ain't it
@@serenity-indeed2132
*THAT'S RACIST! 1! 1*
how did they hire the copilot he was so scared he froze
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".
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.
All this, while he's driving a manual.
This is some F1-Tier footwork
Driving a stick really ain’t that hard bruh
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.
his partner at the beginning:
"oh fuuuuck not this song again"
Stealth is optional for the mission
0:00 "WARNING: You are now visible to all players in the session"
In the original video it shows the guy getting the truck stuck, grabbing the AR and going to work on the thieves. Balls of steel.
Looking for the original one

Damn I can tell the driver is fking nervous as hell but dude powered through and stayed calm the whole time whoa what a man.
Glad the guards were able to maintain their composure
This is what happened when I go to dentist.
😂😂😂
You must live where I work!
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.
Ha, I thought the very same thing and the guy hasn't aged a day czcams.com/video/FJZ-BHBKyos/video.html
Whatever amount the security company pays the driver,it's not enough.
Gotta love that trigger discipline
Never mess with a person who is listening to free bird and driving a big van
that glass was absolutely tanking those rounds
I love these two guys *so* much.
I'd watch a show based on them lol
They need a tv show
Driver & guard had the identical thought: "Oh, that's it! _Enough!_ I'm through delivering Domino's pizza in Chicago!"
😂
1:55, the look he give the driver kills me
Bro's doing a main quest in GTA ☠️
Wrong. This is REALITY. Nerd.
The facial expressions on the black guy are hilarious.
it was his first day onj the job thats why haha
He thought he was going to die, are you rdetarde or something? You didn't get your ass beat enough as a kid and it shows.
@@IdroppedMyAR15and likely last day 😅
@@Free_canada Nope. They both survived.
@@iamstewpit6740 I meant the passenger quitting after shitting bricks during that robbery attempt

Legend
Trevor and Franklin doin some mission
i hope they made it, i see their stress level is high, pulse is up, they are focused and alert. What a job!
They both survived, they basically became south african heroes on TV
im glad to hear, that is great! :D@@lasagne357
Damn, Dave got wild jobs since he lost the chimpmunks💀💀
Trevor y Franklin dándolo todo 🧨
hermano.. 🤣
Es más un Michael en mí opinión
Trevor and Franklin in an alternate universe
The driver handled it like a chad
You can see the adrenaline in their faces the whole time
"I'll be honest with ya: my parents do NOT care for it."
Securitin's good job mate
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.
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.”
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.
There are two different kinds of calm.
He looks like the most badass call of duty general ever
...i didn't hear either one say "f+ck" or "sh!t", not one single time during the attack, both were cool, very cool, cold as ice, RESPECT...
rare footage of Heisenberg escaping robbers while listening to a banger
Excellent driving by the driver and keeping their cool as well, even the guys in the back getting tossed around.
driver is soo cold, bold, and cool💀
Dude in the passenger seat looked hella shellshocked
I remember reading about this story and apparently that was like his 4th day on the job 😂
The more intense the driver gets the scarier it is for the guy with the gun
The hardest part of the armored guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel
Lucky them windows bullet proof
Not sure but isnt bulket proof susposed to not break when a bulket hits it unless its a heavy dmage dealing one
driver looks like trevor
He should have had Franklin driving and Trevor doing the shooting .
He looks like Walter White without a beard
"Franklin, I'm not in danger. I am the danger. I am the one who drives"
@@pauldirac808😂
Telling my kids this is Price and Gaz in the Modern Warfare reboot.
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.
the guy with the AR eyes were so wide I thought they were going to pop out of his head.
That guy needs a raise
*The new trainee enters in the car *
"Ok boy w gonna patrol. These times streets are quiet and calm."
*5 mins laters*
I knew it! Heisenberg didn't die, he started working with Hank
When bro pulled the gun I was dead 💀
I for real thought the guy was going to shoot riding shotgun, but then i remembered im on youtube not liveleak
Dem guys: "Why do i hear Free Bird music?"
Imagine if this was playing on the radio when this happened.
Michael Keaton always plays the best roles.
Driver brah is a FKING LEGEND in that video.
I want a comedy action movie with these two
Guy had the phone ready at the end to make sure the song restarted without missing a beat
This was an excellent idea! I remember watching this over ans over and trying to imagine how these 2 felt. The driver is a badass! Well done!
When the scared passanger tries to hand the driver the rifle... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
When you call your boss that you're gonna be 5 minutes late.
I love how there are barely a dozen words but we see so much of their characters
I like like the newbie take out gun and boss tell him to take the rifle
Damn Trevor is such a nice driver
This whole video has Training Day vibe to it
Bro started lookin for the best song
Left out the most bad ass part. Where he hops out and returns fire
“Strap in boi, im boutta learn you some serious shit”
Me running from the fbi(I did tax evasion):
Even with as terrifying as im sure this was, I bet it was also pure invigorating fuckin euphoria.
When he spun back round i genuinely thought he was about to run em down and shoot em for second 🤣🤣 absolute gangster
Homeboy looks like he is having the time of his life
My guy looking like agent Smith, you know he isn't playing around in his profession.
My father worked on an armored truck until one day he quit because his co-worker died when bandits attacked the truck.
Dude this Is Like your average Regular show episode
No time for the side arm, rookie!!! This calls for the long gun!!!
What a coincidence, I'm watching this on April 22nd...
Damn props to that driver. He hauls ass in and maneuvers that armored truck like a true professional
but your honor free bird was playing
you can tell the passenger guy is in training
I swear this man needs to be a character in call of duty
damn, _never_ fuck with someone wearing glasses and armour at the same time
A NORMAL DAY IN PAYDAY WORLD AAAAHHHHH
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
Bro pulled that AR out of his inventory 😂
