This cop just got busted

this police officer is so bored with his job that on his lunch break he's going to go rob a bank and then return to work as if nothing happened now the guy his name is Andre and Andre is kind of a thrill seeker and he's police captain at kton Park in South Africa and unfortunately he's not happy with his life and he starts looking for a bigger thrill and then one day Kaboom he decides he's going to rob a bank so he catches an early flight from Johannesburg to Der and there he rents a car drives to a bank in town puts on a wig and fake beard and he walks into the bank and he points his pew pew at the teller and he asks the teller will you please fill this bag with cash then he takes the cash and he leaves and he catches the next flight back to Johannesburg and so Boom the robbery is a success and it's a thrill for Andre so he decides to Rob another bank and another bank and another bank and soon enough every time he gets a day off from work he flies to deran and robs another bank he even starts robbing local banks in Johannesburg on his lunch break like he'll rob a bank and then later on that same day he'll go back to the scene of the crime to investigate the robbery because he's the police and he disguises himself so well none of the witnesses ever recognize him and he's really good at this bank robbery thing he knows exactly how the bank security systems work so he knows how to avoid getting caught every time and this goes on for 3 years Andre robs around 30 Banks during this time and this is a huge thrill for him but then one night he screws up so he's at this party one night and he's getting a little tipsy and he starts talking and having a conversation with his friend this guy core and Andre's bragging to core that he's been robbing all these Banks and that he's so good at it here's the thing about core though core just happens to work for the Bureau of State security which is kind of like the FBI and core feels like because of his job he just can't keep a secret like this and eventually he tells his supervisor so the next time Andre flies back from Durban having just robbed another bank police are waiting for him at the baggage claim and so bam they arrest him and he's supposed to spend about 17 years in prison but that's not going to happen cuz he's going to bust himself out now while Andre is in prison he meets this guy mall and he meets this other guy hail both of whom are in prison for Rob and pretty quickly they all three become friends and after about 3 years in prison Andre and mall and hail they come up with this wild plan to bust them all out first Andre and McCall the two of them they fake injuries so that the prison guards will escort them to an outside physiotherapist for treatment and then once they're at the physiotherapist bam they overpower the guards and they grab the guards Pew pews and then they steal the physiotherapist car and they use it as a getaway vehicle and then once they've escaped they lay low for a while 3 months later they go back to where hail is guns a blazing and they bust him out too so now the three of them are together on the Run hiding out and so what does Andre want to do he wants to start robbing banks again he wants that thrill back so then Kaboom the three of them hit up a bank and then Kaboom they hit up another bank and then Kaboom they hit up a third bank and these guys just keep going robbing bank after Bank after bank and they always always wear ridiculous disguises sunglasses fake mustaches fake beards they almost look comical but despite that they're a good team they can execute a full bank robbery in under 5 minutes sometimes they're able to Rob four banks in the same day without getting caught so because of all this success soon enough word starts to get out and the local people they start hearing about this gang of bank robbers on the news and strangely a lot of the public are cheering them on because they're making the police look like fools and it's funny to them so Andre and McCall and hail they become like folk Heroes and people start calling them the Stander gang after Andre's last name so this crime spree goes on for several months the Stander gang is hiding out at safe houses hitting up Banks when they can collecting a lot of cash and hanging out with lots and lots of escorts in their spare time now before you start cheering these guys on too just know that during this time on the run on Andre was known to approach random young women pretending to be a professional photographer he would then lure them back to his hotel room pretending he's going to take professional pictures of them and then he would essay them and at least two of these women end up reporting him to the police for this and this will come up again later So eventually the standard gang is named South Africa's most wanted and their photos are suddenly everywhere all over the media everyone's talking about them and the three guys know it's just a matter of time before they get caught so they come up with a plan to flee the country so first they decide they're going to buy a small yacht and they're going to leave the country that way I guess it's supposed to be safer than all three of them flying commercial so then Andre uses a fake passport he flies to Fort Lauderdale Florida and there he's going to finish negotiations on the sale of this yacht the next day back in South Africa police show up to one of the safe houses the gang had been hiding in apparently police had been tipped off by some of the escorts the gang used to hang out with so police are suddenly outside of the safe house and it's 5:00 a.m. and mall is the only one home and police are like standard gang come out with your hands up and Mall he's butt naked cuz I guess he sleeps naked and he gets his pew pew and he gets into a crazy butt necked shootout with police and they storm the place and they're shooting at him and he's running from room to room shooting back and then finally once they have him cornered he turns the pew pew on himself and he unives himself meanwhile there's hail as soon as hail gets a tip that police are on to them he bounces he uses a fake passport and he hops on a flight to Greece so he's long gone while police they raid all the gang safe houses and in one of those safe houses they find photos of one of the women that Andre had Saed a few months back and this not only confirms her story about being sa but it also confirms that this Safe House belongs to him and that safe house leads police to the yacht they bought and that yacht leads them to a crew member they had hired to sail it and that crew member tells them that Andre is supposed to deliver the yacht to Fort Lauderdale Florida so now police know that Andre is in Florida so then newspapers in Florida get word of this and they start publishing Andre's picture in the paper so now people in Florida are on high alert looking for Andre and so then one morning it all starts to fall apart for him cuz Andre is at a used car dealership trying to get his car painted a different color because he had just stolen it and there the salesman recognizes him because his pictures had just been in the local paper and that salesman doesn't say anything then but he later calls the police so then later that night police show up to Andre's apartment and they surrounded cuz they're about to bust in but Andre is actually not home however crazy enough one of the officers just happens to spot him riding by on a bicycle and the officer knows it's him so he runs over and he confronts fronts him and so then Andre realizes what's going on and he jumps off his bike and he makes a run for it and then the officer chases after him and he catches up to him and Andre stops and he pretends he's going to give up and then he grabs the officer's shotgun and then thinking quickly the officer pulls out his other pew pew and then bang he shoots Andre four times and he unives him here's what Andre looked like in real life so then that only leaves hail so hail he ultimately ends up in London and there he tries to commit another robbery and he ultimately gets caught and they throw him in prison for almost 20 years later he does his time and he gets out and he becomes a better person and he starts public speaking and he actually dedicates himself to educating people about the horrible consequences of living a life of crime the major regret actually is the fact that I've wasted talents and abilities and I I've achieved nothing that's wild shout out to South Africa
