– cart off flat-screen TV on bicycle

TWO bandits on bicycles rode into a Laing Avenue, West Ruimveldt yard and robbed two men who were consuming alcohol Tuesday afternoon.

Reports indicate that the victims were sitting outside consuming alcohol when the two men on the bicycle rode into the yard and dismounted. One, who was armed with a handgun, held the duo at gunpoint and robbed them of their cash and valuables.

The other bandit, who was unarmed, then went into the house situated in the lower flat and collected a flat-screen TV before returning on the bicycle.

The men then escaped west along Laing Avenue on the bicycle. The police were contacted and statements were given as the police continue their investigation.
