Subject: RE: Insecurity
Alert In Town
Dear
Rose,
Thanks
for this info. I almost fell victim of this a few weeks ago when shopping in
the streets at about 7:30pm. The villain in my case did not extend a hand but attempted
to push the needle into my bum as I bent over to try some shoes. Someway
somehow I immediately figured that the idea had been to get me dizzy and rob
me. I dashed into a mat a few meters away (thank God it was around my stage)
with the help of my siz. The moment I felt the needle I became hysterical
perhaps due to my own phobias on what had just happened but one thing is for
sure, I was dizzy for about a minute or two and had I not been in the company
of my siz I would have been very disoriented making myself an easy prey for my
attacker. Since then, I avoid all such affairs at such hours.
Regards,
Penny

I got this from a friend
PLEASE CIRCULATE TO ALL
Please be informed that thieves have recently come up with a more
"efficient" method of disarming people in the CBD. They extend their
Arm
for a handshake after asking for directions, making it seem as though
they were thanking their victim but they have a needle, dipped in some
sort of sedative, under their sleeve that makes one feel drowsy. When
their victim falls asleep, which seems to the general public as one who
has fainted, they go ahead to move their victim to a convenient location
posing as Good Samaritans only to rob them!
Other than the loss of personal effects, there is also the risk of
contracting HIV/Aids or hepatitis since the needles in use are highly
unlikely to be sterile!
PLEASE be aware of
strangers who insist on shaking hands or coming too
close to you in the city streets!
someone personally witnessed a man in recovery mode along a
lane off
it was broad daylight - around 5 p.m.
Please be VERY careful.
Kindly notify the people around you and tell them what you know.
