Information

From a HBNW member. It seems this is happening in the Kingdom of the Zulu. Chances are it'll appears here soon.

Running water Just a reminder about the running water scam. If you wake up in the middle of the night to hear all your taps outside running or what you think is a burst pipe, DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE! These people turn on all your outside taps full bore so that you will go out to investigate and then they attack. Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbours!

Important

The message below was forwarded to me. HB Watchcon did broadcast an APB when the incident occured.



A friend of mine - Lxxxx Axxxx - came home last night at about 22h00 in his house in Constantia. A dark old model 4-door BMW was parked in the street near his driveway. When he opened the gate 3 passengers/coloured men jumped out, all armed with handguns and ran towards him. Lance managed to shoot one in the chest, who was pulled into the car by a second. The third fired at Lance, hitting him in both arms. When Lance wanted to return fire his Colt 'exploded' as he used old ammo (corroded point, cartridge discharged in the magazine) and he physically attacked the third. They left when they heard police sirens approaching (neighbours heard the shots).

Reason why I report this is that the police told Lance that these guys are part of a group doing hit-and-runs in the Camps Bay and Tamboerskloof area. They are obviously moving their working area and Hout Bay might be in their planning.
