30/05/2002 11:24 AM - (SA) Young boy and nanny fight off bike-jacker in broad daylight 31-05-2002
Cameron-Dane had returned home from school at about 14:15 on Thursday last week when the Bates's two small dogs started barking furiously outside. The family's full-time nanny, Dora Farmer, asked Cameron-Dane to look outside to see why the dogs were barking. Looking through the window, he saw an intruder in the garden. His nanny instructed him to lock all the doors and then run next door to get help. But no-one was there, and on his return, the boy witnessed a man climbing over the wall with his father's expensive bicycle. Without hesitation, Cameron lunged at the man and started boxing him while shouting for help. Other people in the street emerged from their homes, but none of the onlookers re-sponded to her son's cries for help, Mrs Bates says. The situation was only resolved when nanny Farmer appeared in the front door, wielding a big kitchen knife. The thief dropped the bicycle and fled.
