I WAS SAYING YESTERDAY, i know the cape is a smaller/closer community but to me it seems like the capes crime is getting crazy??

Thats not exactly a rough neighbourhood either, this crap looks like it can happen anywhere anytime.

Serious!!!

 

There was a bike-jacking near Llandudno just before the Argus - same method same time of day - wonder if it is the same group.

 

The authorities HAVE to do something about these cases.

Hiker killed in mountains above Kalk Bay two days ago - robbery.

As Deon (Pain or Shine) said yesterday - Tik is an IMMENSE problem, and the crime moves all over the place - we're "easy pickings" - especially when we've got these big ass million lumen lights on our bars, and can't really fight back whilst riding (not that you'd want to fight back against a gun-toting tik-infused maniac - FLIP it, it's like gumi-berry juice to them)

 

Until the pro-active policing picks up, it's going to remain a problem. At the moment, the policing is pretty re-active.

 

But yeah - perhaps we just complain about it more, 'cos we're not used to the levels of crime that everyone else has in JHB, Durbs and so on. But it's still not cool...

Hi All, thanks for posting Meezo.

It happened @5.20 on Zwaanswyk rd, coming from Tokai Circle.

I noticed the supicious toyota earlier in my ride, coming out of the residential area just passed Blue Route Centre before the garage.4 people in vehicle. When they turned left at tokai circle direction ou kaapse weg, I though I was in the clear to go and do some intervals up Zwaanswyk.

 

On that dark stretch of road after the entrance to the residentail complexes, before the left turn up Zwaanswyk, the vehicle was next to me, and bumped me off the road.I jumped clear off the bike. No lights, no number plate

 

One guy jumped out, threatened to shoot me, had his hand behind his back as to pull out gun. I did not see the gun, but I was not gonna challenge him (something my psychologist needs to sort out).

Anyways, other guy jumped out of car, climbed on bike and rode off. One was pulling cell etc out of my pockets, driver stayed in car, woman also jumped out of car and searched me.

Very harrowing experience.

Thanks to cyclists that stopped to assist.

Before careful out there.

Drugs contribute to the problem. I believe that law enforcement must become more serious about the way in which it deals with cases. There must be more police around. The law at the moment is a joke and if you speak to anyone from a ghetto area they will tell you what is the law gonna do? Now with that attitude its no wonder crime is rocketing

Glad you are okay.

Andre Traut is the guy... also a Hubber, or used to be.
