CCTV footage captured the young woman being robbed of her handbag in the late afternoon in Parkview, Johannesburg, on Wednesday. However, after the robber tried to speed away on his motorbike, the woman ran after him and grabbed her bag from the motorbike’s storage compartment.
The woman, who has asked to remain anonymous, said she had just climbed out of an Uber and was waiting outside her sister’s home when a man pulled up on a motorbike. He ran towards her, wielding a switchblade, and demanded her phone.He snatched the woman’s bag before returning to his bike and placing it in the rear storage box.
After a moment’s hesitation, the woman chased him and, at the last possible moment, grabbed the bag before running in the opposite direction.The woman was unharmed and hopes the footage will inspire others to reject victimhood and act with courage.
Crime of opportunity.
Another threat we need to be aware of. Lots of these delivery type bikes out there without proper branding for whom they work. They need to be regulated as they are also quite dangerous carrying make shift delivery boxes on the back
This is clearly an acted out scene. And not even well acted out either.
