News24 reports that several passengers on board a Golden Arrow bus were robbed of their belongings on Spine Road in Khayelitsha on Friday morning.
Western Cape police spokesperson Joseph Swartbooi said the bus had stopped near an Engen garage when armed men climbed board. "The men threatened the driver, whilst the others robbed the passengers of the valuables. The suspects fled with cash they took from the driver," Swartbooi reported. A video that surfaced online shows one of the men wearing a cloth mask and demanding that passengers hand over their belongings. He then collects what looks like cellphones, before climbing off the bus. Golden Arrow Bus Services spokesperson Bronwen Dyke-Beyer said they were "very shocked to hear that the footage had been placed on social media". The company shared the footage the SA Police Service so that they could identify the suspects and arrest them. Police are investigating a case of robbery with a firearm.
