Today, at about 13:00 in Hillbrow, Gauteng, a number of unknown suspects attacked and fired shots at a parked CIT vehicle and fled the scene in vehicles with an undisclosed amount of money. As a result of the attack and the shooting, two security guards and two bystanders were wounded.

As investigations continue, police have so far recovered seven firearms, including rifles and pistols. Three motor vehicles have also been seized.

The Acting National Commissioner has commended the bravery of the police officers who responded to the scene and on the same note expressed his shock at the killing of a police officer. “Our members are fearless, they did not think twice before they confronted those brazen criminals. One of our own laid down his life to ensure the safety and security of the inhabitants of this country.
