One Pretoria resident, who has been a victim of road spiking twice, said he was relieved.

Police believe the arrest of 11 suspects in a bust over the weekend in Tshwane will help close many cases related to road spiking and online shopping.

“One of the suspects charged at the police with a firearm, and the police shot at him,” Mthombeni said.“On Saturday, police received information on the whereabouts of suspects responsible for road spiking incidents on the N1, N4 and R80 in Tshwane, as well as robberies related to online shopping,” he said.“The team went to Winterveld to the house used to operate an illegal shebeen and confronted 10 male suspects and a woman running the shebeen.

Anti-crime activist Yusuf Abramjee warned residents to be vigilant on the N1 after the Tshwane Flying Squad vehicle hit spikes just after Murrayhill and Hammanskraal toll gates.
