GLuvsMtb Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Just a warning to all holiday makers. Earlier today there was another attempted bike jacking just before the Dunoon traffic lights. It happened as I drove past. By the time I stopped and got out they were through the fence with 2 liberated bikes. I decided to pursue on foot and another chap came around the fence at an open gate with his Ranger double cab. I hopped in and we managed to pull one liberator off a bike (and I got a few snotklappe in as well. The driver pursued the second liberator on foot while I was trying to ride down the first liberator to dish out some more justice. Eventually I decided to return to the vehicle to make sure that no one liberates the Ranger DC and after a few minutes the driver emerged from Dunoon with the second bike. Turns out the 2 victims are from Durban and were not aware of the danger. Bottom line: When on holiday familiarize yourself with the danger zones and be extra vigilant if you still feel like taking the risk to ride in these areas.
rvdm1 Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Lucky they weren't armed. Must have been a lekker feeling dishing out those snotklappe.
Rocket-Boy Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Nicely done Gman!Im sure the victims were really happy to get their bikes back.
GLuvsMtb Posted December 22, 2015 Author Posted December 22, 2015 Lucky they weren't armed. Must have been a lekker feeling dishing out those snotklappe.They had knifes. The driver gave me this intel when we were chasing them down. We worked out quickly what the safest way would be to split them up and separate them from the bikes. I was nervous when the driver took a few minutes to emerge with the second bike as he was in between the shacks. We seemed to have controlled the situation well.
JaakCT Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Brilliant guys! Well done! What time was this? I cycle past there often and I'm always vigilant but this is happening more and more at that spot it seems

-Az- Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 well done G (Actions like yours help remind me that I'm not completely surrounded by the self entitled and disrespectful.)
GLuvsMtb Posted December 22, 2015 Author Posted December 22, 2015 well done G (Actions like yours help remind me that I'm not completely surrounded by the self entitled and disrespectful.)I was just hoping for some assistance as I ran after the 2. Without the guy in his Ranger they would have gotten away as I would not have been able to pursue them once they got to the shacks. The intel about the knives was also valuable.
WKNDWRRR Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Well done! Were they riding through Dunoon?
BarHugger Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Well done.....the force was with you.....from now on you will be known as RANGER......the snotklap warrior. Let the libaration begin!!!!. Glad the whole situation turned out in such a negative manner for the perps......
