Three times was the magic number on Sunday – the number of warning shots it took to terrorise a man into giving up his moto.

Police said the 28-year-old was driving home from a party when confronted by a gun-toting pair on another moto.

Initially attempting to flee, the shots fired in quick succession got him to reconsider and pull over.

A complaint was subsequently filed to police but clues are few as the men were helmeted. DEUM AMPIL
