Armed robbery suspects arrested after victims outsmart them

[schumi]

.Cape Town - Two suspects from Heideveld, who robbed a boy and a girl at gunpoint last week, have spent the weekend behind bars after the clever victims helped cops nab them.
Manenberg Police Station commander, Brigadier Enolium Joseph, says the “well-known” thieves stole valuables worth R10 000 from the duo last Wednesday.

He says the suspects, aged 30 and 24, were arrested by seasoned detective Sergeant Daryl van Noie, who used the information provided by the victims to catch them.

“On 16 January at 11.25am an 18-year-old female and a 19-year-old male were at a shop in Heideveld and as they walked back home along Spar Road, they were confronted by the two males,” he says.

“They held them at gunpoint and threatened to shoot them. They searched the teens and took cellphones, expensive sunglasses and jewellery worth R10 000 and fled the scene and ran towards the Heideveld flats.”

Joseph says the traumatised teens went home and started gathering information about the suspects.

So is that the price of the jewelry or the combined items?

You with your laptop and smartphone?

I'm going to have to go with combined items, cause a cellphone alone would equal that.

Pity the two scumbugs were not killed...

That chop who buys samsung or apple products.

I got the bottom of the range P9 lite Huawei, it's retail price was R4500.
So two phones and a pair of sunglasses and a gold neckless.

R10 000 is really not that much money these days. (it is but it isn't really)

What else do you get that is considerably cheaper and still smart?

So these youths did detective work so the police wouldn't have to.
They got the perps locked up but whats to stop the perps from getting revenge when they get out.
One has known ties to a gang, and those people don't really need much reason to shoot someone

My wifes engagement ring is easily over that, gold and diamons are VERY expensive these days.

Is your wife 18 ;-) cause that's quite a bit for an 18 year old, but 10k for the combined isn't really.

Unfortunately those kids are now marked...

I don't even know why there is a question mark whether the 10K was combines value or not....it was blatantly obvious that it's all together.

Nah lol but I'm just saying, with today's price for gold and stones, R10k is not difficult if its genuine and could be a family heirloom ring etc. Her ring is just 18ct gold with a 0.25ct solitair diamond and its worth over that, never mind her wedding bands etc.
