Mountain biker catches robbery on GoPro
Malcolm Fox was about to finish his session on the pedals at Sir Lowry’s Pass when an armed suspect ran up to him, flagged him down and proceeded to rob him of his belongings, along with the help of two accomplices.
The entire incident was caught on his GoPro camera which was mounted on his helmet. On the YouTube video which Fox posted, he said it was fortunate that the suspects had no clue what a GoPro is, and that it could be used as evidence.
Police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Andrè Traut that all three suspects which appear in the video have been arrested on a charge of robbery.
With the help of the GoPro police managed to arrest two suspects on Sunday, a day after the incident occurred, with the third being arrested on Monday.
“Thorough investigation work led investigators to the suspects with the help of the footage,” said Traut.
