Two suspects were killed and five others arrested after police intercepted a gang of men, allegedly on their way to commit a business robbery.
"The team kept close observation and intercepted two cars in Brentwood Park Benoni, a white Mercedes Benz with four occupants and Silver Grey Polo Vivo with three occupants. Upon seeing the police, suspects started shooting at the police and a shootout ensued. Two of the suspects were fatally wounded while five suspects were cornered and arrested. Police recovered four firearms belonging to the suspects," Masondo said.
Gauteng Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Elias Mawela, commended a team of law enforcers who worked together to foil a business robbery and prevented loss of lives.
