In a video that has now gone viral, a Checkers Sixty60 driver is seen becoming a victim of an armed robbery while delivering groceries.
The footage posted by X (formerly Twitter) user @Mbonjeni1 shows the driver sitting on his delivery motorbike outside of a property, presumably waiting for the customer to collect the parcels. While the driver seems to be distracted by his phone, the two thieves approach the vehicle, one aiming a gun at the driver.
The driver is then robbed of his phone and the groceries stored in the back of the bike. Immediately after the thieves leave, a third man approaches and takes off with the remaining bags.
Watch the video below.

This is sad, so what happens to the customer? Does the store cover for such incidents?
