Teenager shot for his bicycle
Posted Thu, 13 Jun 2002
A young Brakpan cyclist was in a critical condition in a Johannesburg clinic after he was shot and robbed of his racing bicycle during a training session on Wednesday morning, police reported.
East Rand police spokesperson Superintendent Andy Pieke said a passerby found 17-year-old Johan Jacobs lying next to the road in Minnebron Extension around 6am.
He had been shot twice in the back and his bicycle — valued at about R30 000 — was missing.
Jacobs had been training with a friend and was presumably returning home when he was attacked from behind, Pieke said.
He also said a reward could be issued for information leading to the arrest of the suspects.
