Here's proof that GoPro cameras can be used for much more than capturing first-person perspectives of extreme sports.
A video uploaded to YouTube on Monday shows alarming footage of an alleged armed robbery of a bicycle on May 31 in Somerset West, South Africa. The bike rider, referred to only as Malcolm, was wearing a GoPro -- which was not stolen -- that captured the entire incident, including clear images of the faces of the thieves.
The YouTube description, which Malcolm posted to his channel Lucky Jakkals, says that he was on the last leg of his bike ride from Ongegund and that "armed gunman and two others" stopped him and took his cellphone, car keys, Oakley sunglasses and bike.
"Fortunately they did not have a clue what a GoPro was, and this is the evidence that will assist in their procecution! [sic]," the video's description continues.
