BikeJacking HOTSPOT

[nathrix]

Close to R55 towards Summit Road, Blue Hills, Midrand

 

Guy on a DualSus Alu Cube 29er got hijacked this morning at 8 am by two black male thugs, one with a gun and the other with a knife.

 

They were hiding in the bush/field on the right before you get to the top where the road makes a 90 degree turn to the left.

Yes, i think four or five years ago about the same time of the year, it was the same road, but more towards the top at the turn. It’s becoming a regular weekly accurance again.

This whole bikejacking thing has really gotten out of hand.

I know in the past the Hub had a stolen bike heat map.

Can Admin @Matt not maybe do the same for bike jackings. Maybe somthing google maps related click on your province work down to area/ street and get a list of incidents by date time etc.

With everyone working on the database listing incidents building a global map.
