Armed Thieves Unfamiliar With GoPro Camera Get Caught on Video Robbing Man on Bicycle at Gunpoint

On May 31, 2014, cyclist Lucky Jaikas was riding near Somerset West, South Africa when he was robbed at gunpoint by three men who took his car keys, his sunglasses and his phone, but failed to recognize the GoPro camera mounted on Lucky’s helmet. Luckily, the camera was filming the entire incident.

MTB ride on Saturday 31st May 2014 from Ongegund, last few km’s before end of session. Armed gunman and 2 others stopped myself and took cellphone, car keys, oakleys and bike. Fortunately they did not have a clue what a GOPRO was and this is the evidence that will assist in their prosecution!
