Robbers tricked a man into stopping then robbed him of his belongings.
Mr Samuel Phala was robbed on August 11 after stopping his car along Price Street.
While driving along the road he noticed two men on the right side of the road.
“One of them was signalling to me that something was wrong with my tyre, it looked like he pointed out that my car had a puncture,” he said.
Phala brought the car to a stop and as he got out of the vehicle one of the men alongside the road ran up to him and held him at gunpoint.
The robber ripped Phala’s wristwatch from his wrist, another reached for his phone which was in his shirt pocket.
“I fought back when they tried to take the keys from the ignition, one of them shouted to shoot me but the guy with the gun hesitated,” he said.
Motorists passing by hooted at the sight of Phala being robbed, this scared off the robbers who bolted across the street towards the nearby field.
In another incident on August 12, a 25-year-old man was hitchhiking from Duvha Park when a Mazda 6 pulled up offering him a lift.
The man got into the car and said where he was planning on going. As they drove in the direction of Landau the driver of the car made a turn saying he wanted to urinate.
While the driver was outside the car robbers approached and robbed the 25-year-old of his cellular phone, bank card and clothing items.
