Whilst investigating the activation of an electric fence alarm, police discovered four individuals attempting to break into a property. Two suspects were shot dead, whilst another two were injured, as police gave chase in a Bloubosrand complex at 3.30am this morning, said Inspector Muthan of the South African Police Service. "We have already linked the suspects to approximately 4 to 5 incidents of house robbery in the area using the same modus operandi, as well as the recent murder of a 33-year-old Chartwell woman," said Muthan.
The suspects have been prone to violence. They held residents at gunpoint whilst ransacking their homes to obtain valuables. Only one weapon was recovered however police believe that all the suspects were armed. "We are searching the backyards of the units in the complex for the remaining weapons right now. The suspects scaled the walls and ran from one property to another." The two injured suspects are in hospital under police guard whilst being treated for their injuries.
