The upper half of Sussex Road, a one-way street, is regularly being used in the
"wrong direction".

Subject: [obsnw] Driver behavior
Morning all,
Yesterday I was involved in a bit of a fender bender when turning into
Station Rd. My annoyance is not so much the damage to my car, but rather the
manner in which it occurred. Imagine my surprise when seeing a space in the
traffic coming up the road that upon pulling off I immediately knocked into
someone driving DOWN Station Rd. people driving the wrong way down the numerous
one way roads is a source of consternation for me, as is speeding but the
speeding is a different matter. While discussing the matter with the very
friendly, calm and helpful SAPS guys that arrived less than a minute later, I
think they were on patrol, we saw two cars drive down station road. Also a
curior from Economic Motor Spares went down Station Rd and into Wesley where we
were processing the incident. The courier was laughing as he did it and waving
at the SAPS officers as he went through.
I find this behavior disgusting and sadly prevalent in Obz.
Would the cameras under discussion for security in Obz be able to multitask
and keep an eye on this sort of behavior? Top of Bowden Rd, Eden to Wesley,
Rochester and a bunch of other Hotspots?
Regards,
Iain

Cape man arrested for robbery

Comment on this story
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Woodstock, Cape Town - A man has been arrested for business robbery in
Woodstock, Cape Town police said on Monday.
Captain FC Van Wyk said five armed men entered the premises of a business
in Woodstock and demanded money from the owner and staff on Friday.
“The suspects took the workers to the back of the premises and forced
them to open one of the safes,” Van Wyk said.
They forced workers to take out a substantial amount of money, two
cellphones, and a laptop. The robbers also stole a white Toyota stallion LDV.
They made their getaway in a white Honda Ballade, which was later seen by
security guards on the corners of Drake and Anson streets, in Observatory.
The three men in the vehicle ran away when they saw the security
officers, but one of them was arrested.
It was later established that the car was stolen in the Goodwood area
earlier this month. The stolen Toyota Stallion LDV was later recovered
abandoned in the Langa area.
Van Wyk said the 35-year-old man arrested would appear in the Cape Town
Magistrate's Court on Monday on charges of armed robbery and possession of
suspected stolen property.
The other men had not yet been arrested. - Sapa
