Father finds son held at gunpoint



Fathers and sons make great targets

When you have decided to commit an armed robbery, it is very important to choose your victims.

An excellent target is a father and son.  Once you pull out the guns and announce the hold up, the two victims will pretty much do as you say.  The father won't try anything because he will be scared that you will hurt his son.  And the son won't do anything because he will be concerned about his father.

If one of them tries to get cleaver with you, lets say it is the father, all you need to do is point the gun at his sons head and he will immediately start doing what you tell him to do.

Father finds son held at gunpoint

BLUE HILLS- A house near Village Street in Blue Hills was broken into by armed men

According to Midrand police communications officer, Constable Matome Tlamela the victim was asleep when he was awoken by noises coming from his son’s room which was located down the passage.
Tlamela said the victim made his way to his son’s room and found two armed men holding his son at gunpoint.
The alleged suspects ordered the victim and his son to lie down on the floor and then tied them up with shoe laces.
Tlamela said the suspects managed to get away with goods valued at R33 000, including laptops and TVs.
Police are investigating.


As you can see this was a very successful hold-up.  But if you are going to do something like this you must remember you do not want to give your victim too much time to be able to see you as this could result in them being able to identify you at a later stage.

Once the two armed robbers had tied up the father and son they should have immediately stuffed them into a closet.  Ideally the robbers should have brought some duck tape with and taped the men's mouths shut.  This would prevent father and son trying to discuss any plans while you had them locked in the closet. 

As all this was happening in the son's room, one of the robbers could have opened his closet and ordered the two of them into the closet. 

If the lock was not very strong they could have moved furniture against the closet door like the son's bed would be great to keep the closet doors closed.

With the father and his son locked in the closet, their house is now yours and you can take your time looting their house taking everything you want.
