Craig Lucas Robbed at Gun Point…”They made off with my phone”

The Voice SA season 2 winner, Craig Lucas recounts tales of surviving a near-death experience.

The singer took to his Instagram timeline to share his ordeal, stating that he was robbed at gunpoint in Thornton, Cape Town on Tuesday.

“I got a flat tyre yesterday, and while I was trying to get it sorted a car pulled up in front of me. I thought they wanted to help. Instead they robbed me. They had a gun and one guy told the other to shoot me as they were making off. I begged him not to shoot me, and thank God he didn’t,” he wrote. 

Lucas proceeded to ask individuals to be careful in case anyone reached out to them, impersonating him.

“They made off with my phone. I managed to change the passwords to my Apple ID and Gmail. I can’t locate the phone or erase it until I am able to access my account. The phone was unlocked when they took it so they have access to it.

“If anyone messages you asking for anything please assume it isn’t me for now. Trying to recover my number, and regain access to my accounts, but it will take between 24-48 hours.”
