WATCH! Pepper spray alarm chokes robbers from store

The owner of the H2O store in Sugar Loaf Centre in Botha’s Hill in Kwasulu-Natal, Morné Bothma, told News24 he insisted on his security company, Compusafe Electronic Asset Security, to install a chili pepper gas alarm in his store shortly after a burglary in May this year when three computers were stolen during the night.
In his security video you can see his new security innovation at work. Three men approach the store early on Thursday morning. After they break their way through the glass door, one of the men gets a good whack of of pepper spray right in the face. The the entire store starts to fill up with gas and the choking uninvited guests are forced to flee empty handed.
Despite Bothma saying it was “money well spent” on the pepper spray alarm, you can be sure it will only take a couple of weeks before the authorities will worry about the legality of such a forceful deterrent. Before long someone will come up with the idea that it’s and infringement of a robber’s precious human rights.
The police are still clueless about he event.
