The City of Cape Town’s law enforcement officers patrolled the area when a public member flagged them down. The man told them he had been attacked, stabbed in his back and his belongings robbed while working as an Uber driver.
According to JP Smith, the City’s Mayco member for safety and security, officers then proceeded in the last known direction of the suspects before spotting them. ‘A foot chase ensued and all three suspects were captured.
‘Criminals have readily taken to plundering the marvels introduced through modern technology. With apps and social media tools meant to improve our lives, criminals have found the vulnerabilities that exist and stand ready to exploit these,’ Smith adds. Smith says Uber customers need to ensure the safety of their drivers by making sure they don’t wait too long on the street. ‘Use the app’s features to see their trip progress and meet them at the entrance, or where safe to do so, close to the road. Avoid keeping them waiting where they can become victims.
