Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Western Cape police spokesperson Joseph Swartbooi said the bus had stopped near an Engen garage when armed men climbed board.<\/p>\n

“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 added.<\/p>\n

A video that surfaced online shows one of the men wearing a cloth mask and demanding that passengers hand over their belongings.<\/p>\n

He then collects what looks like cellphones, before climbing off the bus.<\/p>\n

Golden Arrow Bus Services spokesperson Bronwen Dyke-Beyer said they were “very shocked to hear that the footage had been placed on social media”.<\/p>\n

Dyke-Beyer stressed:<\/p>\n

She added that the passengers and the driver were robbed of their personal belongings.<\/p>\n

“There were no officers on this bus. We are doing all that we can to assist SAPS to catch these criminals, but we cannot play the role that the authorities must play. We are not equipped to catch, arrest and prosecute criminals. That is [the] government’s role, and we are begging them to catch these brazen thugs.”<\/p>\n

Police are investigating a case of robbery with a firearm.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information that could lead to the arrest of the perpetrators is asked to contact Crime Stop at 08600 10111.<\/p>\n
