Manager protects teens during game reserve robbery

[schumi]

Pretoria – During a robbery at a game reserve just outside Pretoria over the weekend, a manager made sure a group of teenage schoolchildren were safe.

That’s why he gave five robbers who held him and four teenage girls at gunpoint on Saturday morning everything they asked for – and for good measure, helped them with a car’s immobiliser.

"He kept his wits about him," lodge owner Martin te Groen said.

When the robbers set off the alarm of a car they wanted to steal, the lodge manager helped deactivate it so they could get away, Te Groen told Netwerk24 on Sunday.

Sixty children between the ages of 14 and 17, from Grahamstown, along with parents and teachers, were staying at the Ma Tala Tala game reserve near Cullinan at the weekend.

They are taking part in the SA schools rowing championships at Roodeplaat Dam..

Instead of immobilisers, cars should be fitted with packs of C4 that can be remotely detonated.
