Bike Jacking Melville

[Danger Dassie]

Poked round there today and found a few areas that are far too easy as ambush points with an easy getaway to the road below, as well as open manhole covers that show use of the drainage. 
After speaking to a guy that lives nearby and assists in the area as a security guard (claimed by him) it was theorised that the culprits stay further up the road, towards town side. 
I took a drive by there and can see how the whole thing could pan out. 

Don't want to go into the specifics on an open forum, but I am sharing the information with one of the residents who will be with SAPS/CSS tomorrow. 
Will pressure for feedback from SAPS on the information provided.

Setup a sting operation. Forget the bikes, we make sure these criminals are never seen again.

Guys read on our community crime group from reservists they doing an operation in the early morning due to muggings of cyclists, I stay in the Mayfair west area and they cover Melville etc.... So if any cyclists keen to offer assistance can provide the guys number with SAPS.

I always ride the Spruit alone. It really sucks that now one has to be on the lookout without being able to just kick down. I'm not too good at meeting others at specific times after doing battle with traffic all week - hence the solitary rides there. (I'll easily do an 11am or 12pm ride, not 5:30am)

Thats what https://www.facebook.com/groups/136878833135732/ is for... Staten the time and ask for partners. Im also a 5:30 kinda guy but lately been starting at different times to accommodate the gang.

 

I must admit that i love my solo rides... But safety 1st
