Kempton Park men chase bicycle thief on foot
A suspected bicycle thief has been arrested after he was chased on foot by two men for almost a kilometre in Norkem Park, Kempton Park, on the East Rand.
It is alleged a woman, Carina, was in pursuit of a bike thief who had stolen a bicycle from her yard on Saturday at about 4pm. She followed the suspect for more than 2km until she reached a carwash in Norkem Park Extension Four, Kempton Express reported.
The two men, Lawrence Mncube and Nkosana heard the woman screaming and chased the suspect for about an hour on foot. The suspect was eventually apprehended with the bike.
The suspect was later arrested by Norkem Park police, who happened to be patrolling in the area.
This after three suspects were arrested after they were caught on a GoPro camera robbing a mountain biker in Somerset West in the Western Cape.
Malcolm Fox was about to finish his session on the pedals at Sir Lowry’s Pass in June last year when an armed suspect ran up to him, flagged him down and proceeded to rob him of his belongings, along with the help of two accomplices.
The entire incident was caught on his GoPro camera which was mounted on his helmet. Fox said it was fortunate that the suspects had no clue what a GoPro was, and that it could be used as evidence.
