Namibia: Robbery in National Park

Crime in Swakopmund is high, but it had not extended to the nearby Namib Desert until recently when two Dutch tourists were held up at gunpoint at a remote lookout in the Namib-Naukluft Park. Three assailants took the tourists’ valuables and their car, leaving them stranded. Luckily, the victims were able to get a ride from a passing car. It was the first incident of this sort reported to police, who are not sure if waiting for tourists at remote places represents a new technique for criminals or is an isolated incident.
