Police in KwaZulu-Natal have arrested two suspects after a jewellery store was robbed at a shopping centre in Chatsworth on Friday afternoon.
An unknown number of heavily armed suspects stormed into the jewellery store and fired shots, one of which injured a civilian in the face.
One Metro Police officer was shot and injured on the leg. Relentless police officers pursued the suspects and two of them were arrested in Umlazi, said Colonel Robert Netshiunda. National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola has defended police, saying they will continue to defend themselves from criminals who shoot at them first.“We have listened to the different views that continue to be expressed by ordinary citizens and experts within the field of policing in relation to the number of suspects that have been shot and killed by police in KwaZulu-Natal in recent months,” said Masemola this week.
