Woman held up on Durban freeway after rocks placed on roadway

Durban - A motorist who stopped to inspect damages to her car after she slammed into rocks was held up at knifepoint on the N2 northbound freeway opposite Chesterville on Thursday.


Blue Security has warned motorists to be vigilant when travelling on the N2 after rocks were placed on the freeway to force motorists to stop and fall into the hands of a gang of awaiting armed robbers.


Blue Security spokesperson Andreas Mathios said an armed response officer had stopped to assist the traumatised motorist this morning.


"A motorist travelling on the N2 Northbound carriageway had a harrowing experience this morning when rocks that had been placed across the freeway caused extensive damage to her vehicle. It is alleged that four suspects, armed with knives, approached the motorist and forced her to hand over items of value, including her wallet, cellphone and ATM cards. The suspects then fled the scene, running into a nearby community," he said.

Sigh, don't stop. Stop after a km or two afterrather if you must so the scum hiding next to the road don't jump you. People have no situational awareness.

At least they're doing something. No pleasing some MyBB people. :wtf:

The rest of the world will tell the police to catch the asses, prosecute them and throw them in jail making an example of them - it's surprisingly effective.

An alternative solution: station snipers at notorious bridges in the night, once someone lifts a rock near the edge that is attempted murder and can legally be met with deadly force ... :twisted:

Tend to share you sentiment.

A microcosm of why apartheid was deemed necessary, this is nothing more than separating the barbarians from the civilians with metal cages.

Authorities on high alert after spike in rock throwing attack on Durban motorists

Transport, Community Safety Department urges residents to report suspicious individuals or groups along overhead bridges

[Jabulani22]

It is widely known that rocks were around at the time that the sea travelling colonists arrived (also the land traveling ones) , it is also widely known that rocks were around during apartheid (rocks also are not on record as being against it), therefore we can conclude that rocks are a form of institutional racism .

N2 rock throwing returns with two close calls at Durban

Rock throwing from N2 bridges reared its ugly head again this weekend with two incidents reported on Saturday night.
A 36-year-old Kloof resident, Kate Levenstein, was on her way home with her husband when a rock was thrown at their car.

“Gavin (husband) and I were on our way home on the N2 after visiting friends at Durban North.
“We saw something that looked like a bramble in the middle of the road.

“As my husband swerved around it, a rock was thrown from the pedestrian bridge after Nandi Drive before the M19 turn off.
“Luckily, it went through the centre of the windscreen and through to the back seat.
Although I got hit on my left arm, we made it home fine and we are fine,” said Levenstein.
Police said a 22-year-old woman had also been a victim of rock-throwing on the N2 between Umhlanga and Durban that night.
