16 Year Old Robbed By Men On Bike
Just after midnight this morning [Aug 23], a 16-year-old was forced to stop by two weapon-carrying men on a bike who robbed him of items including his helmet and ipod.
The Police say that it appears that the victim was traveling on South Road in Smiths when he was forced to stop by 2 males on a motorcycle. After he was threatened by the males with a weapon they then robbed him of his helmet, Ipod, mobile phone and black leather bag with Real Madrid logo on the front of the bag.
The Police did not reveal what the weapon in question was. The suspects are described as a black male between 5ft11 and 6 feet tall and the second suspect is described as light complexioned male about 5ft 11. Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on 2950011.
I’m just glad the boy wasn’t harmed. They can recover the phone if it is a blackberry. If someone is using it, then it can be traced by the pin number. Hope they find these culprits.
I thought 16 year olds weren’t supposed to be out between certain hours on bikes?
To uncle ruckus it doesn’t matter what time he was out and about he coould have been out on a family emergency..The point of the matter is that he was robbed! Things where taken from him that belonged to him..HE was the victim..and if it wasn’t him travelling along that road it could have been you and than what should we say if it was you? Oh well he should have been home with his family? get real!
Its sad! Especially when the curfew is at 1 am. for that age group and now look what happens, so is the curfew working – again the time does not matter anymore.
Young girls – be careful – don’t ride by yourselves.
