Northern Farm beware

[JJ201]

On 16 dec I was bike jacked just outside northern farm. I can describe the location better as the tar road leading south over the highway . I was stopped by three gun wielding chaps who drag me down the embankment and stuck a gun to my head, knee in back and kept one trained on me from front. They proceeded to frisk me and tried to aggravate me by grabbing my privates. They took everything bar my socks and cycling kit. I was one my own , returning from long MTB ride, had completed 65km.

I got worried when they dragged me into bushes where we were totally out of site. I took the opportunity and jumped through bushes and ran 1km into northern farm.

Luckily I can tell the tale. Sadly there is no security at northern farm that could respond.

The gang where organised as they made a call for a vehicle to collect them
Northern farm bikers are not safe and neither is riding approaching the location.

I also think that riding in a group may help but if there is a gun to your friends head I would think u would hand over whatever.

Glad you're ok otherwise.

 

 

 

Seems theses three are operating in the area as an organised group. There have been a few other incidents. One or two of which were inside Northern Farm and NF have responded by increasing security and working with Mapgogo.

 

Do a search on the forums and you'll find all the details.

 

 

 

The topic title is a bit misleading though if your were crossing the highway on the road and not NF itself?
