The images of the robbers helped the police to arrest all three. The man who had his bike taken was terrified and believed he was going to be shot and killed. The first three paragraphs of the Cape Time’s story is a chilling read and says a lot about life in SA:
Malcolm Fox waited for the shot.
“I know it’s a cliché,” the 36-year-old father of two told the Cape Times on Wednesday, “but in that moment I wondered if I was about to become another statistic; if my two boys would grow up without a father.”
Fox, a victim of a bike-jacking on Saturday, captured the dramatic 59-second sequence of the armed robbery on his GoPro, which was mounted on his helmet.
Western Cape police spokesman Andre Traut confirmed all three of the men have been arrested and been charged with robbery. Let’s hope the prosecutors don’t bugger this one up (can they with live footages?) and these guys rot in jail (until they are released early to make space for more criminals).
