Three suspects have been shot dead following a fierce gun battle with police in Atteridgeville.
Provincial police spokesperson, Colonel Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi, said highway patrol police, along with private security companies received information about a group of suspects linked to a spate of hijackings around Pretoria.
“The team was strategically placed to be on the lookout for the suspects’ vehicle, which was then spotted,” Nevhuhulwi said.
Police and security tried to stop the vehicle and the suspects sped away.
“This led to a high-speed chase and shoot-out along the highway. Three suspects died while two more were taken to hospital with injuries,” Nevhuhulwi said.
Police found three unlicensed firearms at the scene as well as signal jammers, hand gloves and balaclavas. The vehicle used by the men has also been confiscated by police.
