INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPERS<\/p>\n

It was 15 minutes to closing time. Vasco da Gama supermarket owner Mark* was preparing to close up his shop when he heard a \u201cbig bang\u201d.<\/p>\n
When he went to investigate the loud noise, he found the shop\u2019s floor littered with money, thanks to the work of crafty ATM bombers.<\/p>\n
At around 7.15 Thursday night, at least 15 armed, balaclava-clad men stormed the quiet Henley-on-Klip supermarket. They split up into two teams \u2013 one group held up the cashiers, emptying the tills, while the other team walked toward the ATM in the shop to plant and detonate a bomb.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just heard a big bang and saw the shop was full of armed men. I was so worried that they were going to shoot us and the customers, but fortunately they didn\u2019t,\u201d Mark said.<\/p>\n
He watched as the men quickly stuffed their bags with an undisclosed amount of money and hit a customer with a gun butt before fleeing the scene.<\/p>\n
Last December, robbers held up cashiers and customers at their family business before fleeing with an undisclosed amount of money.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re feeling quite vulnerable and scared. I can\u2019t believe this has happened to us again,\u201d Mark said.<\/p>\n
