The Shopping Centre Armed Robbery Thread....

SA has made itself too welcoming to illegals from other African countries. Time to raise the barriers to another dumb policy by the ANC government.

More xenophobia will:

  1. decrease crime;
  3. reduce the likelihood of an Islamic terrorist attack;
  5. reduce the chance of an Ebola outbreak;
  7. increase employment of South African citizens.

Notes:

Point 2 some areas of Mayfair have been colonised by Somalis. The are has been renamed Mogadishu. The 'white widow' jihadi of the Kenyan mall terror attack stayed in this area. The increase of Pakistanis has been very rapid. They are notorious for their money laundering and drug dealing. Pakistan is the world epicentre of global terror, according to the US state department. Almost every terror attack can be traced to this jihadi haven. They had Osama housed in their version of West Point!

Point 3 South Africans don't have a culture of eating monkey and bats which is how Ebola spreads to humans in the first place.

I wouldn't be so sure on the monkey part of your story.

Bushmeat, an important source of protein in the diet of some Africans, should be handled with appropriate protective clothing and thoroughly cooked before consumption.[1] Some research suggests that an outbreak in the wild animals used for consumption may result in a corresponding human outbreak. Since 2003, such animal outbreaks have been monitored with the aim of predicting and preventing Ebola outbreaks in humans.

Unconfirmed reports of foiled attempted robbery at Canal walk, I can
confirm 1 person covered with blanket in parking area in front of pick
n pay entrance so I presume he is dead. (I was in the parking area)
was told to put my phone away no pictures. Everything inside the
mall as normal as ever. If I didn't have to be here I would rather have
left.

A robbery happend at canal walk just now. They have caught 4 or 5
robbers..tied up and on laying on the ground!
 
It just doesn't end. Glad we didn't go do our weekly shop there this morning. Went to the Waterfront instead, then again these clowns can attack anywhere and anytime.
 
There was a police chopper whizzing about above Tygervalley & Willowbridge yesterday at about 18:30. I suspect that they foiled/prevented something there too...
 
On the Parklands neighbourhood watch page, they foiled an attempted robbery outside a cell shop at the new Sandown Checkers mall, 4 men arrested/2 firearms confiscated on Friday afternoon.
 
FOUR ARRESTED NEAR CTN CELLPHONE STORE

Four people have been arrested for illegally possessing firearms in Table View, Cape Town, near a cellphone store, Western Cape police said on Sunday.

"Their involvement in previous armed robberies is currently under investigation," Lt-Col Andrè Traut said.

The four were arrested on Friday.

"Western Cape police have identified a number of suspects behind the spate of robberies perpetrated at shopping malls and are in pursuit of these suspects," Lt-Col Andrè Traut said.

"However public assistance is sought for additional information so that their arrest can be expedited."

Police in the province have arrested 20 people linked to cellphone and jewellery store robberies since the beginning of April.

As part of efforts to stop robberies at shopping malls provincial police had established a team of experts comprising detectives and crime intelligence officers to deal with such robberies.

Trout said criminals appeared to have moved from committing risky cash-in-transit and ATM robberies to less-risky "high-value item robberies".

"Preliminary investigations suggest that the perpetrators behind these robberies are a group comprising mainly of African males who have previously had a brush with the law."

So true.
When you have to go the mall, it can be a bit of a lottery choosing the one you think will be safe.
 
Eyewitness account of R1.3-m robbery

They were so organised. They knew which man to target.

An eyewitness to Wednesday’s R1.3-million robbery at Galleria, Shirley Wassenaar, saw the whole drama unfold about 15 metres away from her, at the entrance to the banks.

She had walked back to her car, but when she saw her husband was still in the mall, she was on her way back in when the incident happened.

“It happened so quickly,” she said. “There were two men in the front of a dark grey BMW and a thin man wearing a white shirt got out of the back and started wrestling with the businessman. That was what caught my eye.”
