Police have cautioned residents who exercise at the Rondebosch Common to be on the alert following a report of a firearm robbery at the urban green space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Capt John Tayler, station commander at Rondebosch Police Station, requests members of the public who make use of the Common to be vigilant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tayler says on Wednesday 31 May at 16:40, a young woman, 16, was taking a walk on the park run which surrounds the Common when she noticed a cycler coming up behind her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The teenager gave way for him to pass but he stopped and asked for directions to the local post office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe complainant was about to answer him when he pulled out a firearm and demanded her cellphone. The suspect grabbed her phone, a Samsung S20, Capitec card and a Sportsmans Warehouse voucher, and kept on cycling,\u201d says Tayler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He urges members of the public to be aware of their surroundings, cyclists or cars that either slow down or pass them more than once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTry to walk in pairs where possible \u2013 there is safety in numbers,\u201d says Tayler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Report any suspicious cyclist or vehicles to your security WhatsApp group or the Rondebosch Police Station on 021 685 6600\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
