A man was shot twice during an armed robbery for allegedly having a cellphone without a camera in Kagiso, west of Johannesburg.The incident took place at the weekend, according to police spokesperson Capt Solomon Sibiya.
“Police were stopped on Sunday about 0.30am by a concerned resident of Tshepisong after he spotted a man who had been shot at corner of Albert Luthuli and Hector Peterson streets. The police went to the scene where they found the victim writhing in pain in the street. He was bleeding from gunshot wounds.
“The victim was allegedly walking with his girlfriend when they were accosted by an armed suspect. The suspect held up the couple at gunpoint as he demanded cash and their cellphones. The victim handed over his but he suspect was not impressed as the phone had no camera. He then fired two shots at the victim,” said Sibiya.“She, however, managed to escape,” he said.
“We are worried that people defy and ignore instructions related to the curfew and thus play into the hands of ruthless criminals. We wish people could help us fight and minimise crime by taking lockdown regulations seriously,” said Maduna.
