Police shoot dead four would-be truck hijackers, injure two

Hawks spokesperson Col Katlego Mogale said a team comprising Special Task Force, National Crime Intelligence, Gauteng Traffic Saturation unit, Bad Boyz Security and members of the Hawks' Tactical Operations Management Section intercepted a group of hijackers after receiving information from Crime Intelligence that a truck couriering electronic devices was targeted.

“The information was operationalised wherein the identified suspects' vehicles were noticed on Olifantsfontein Road in Glen Austin. Upon realising that the team is about to pounce, the suspects fired shots and a high-speed chase as well as shootout ensued. “Four suspects were fatally wounded and two others suffered minor injuries which were attended to on scene,” she said.“Two unlicensed firearms were recovered on the scene, while the four vehicles used by the suspects have questionable origins which are under investigation.”

Wonderful news!

Bravo to the police...that response will restore the image and pride of SAPS.

When you shoot to kill our police & by so doing attack the security of our homeland death is the result & the 4 criminals permanent abode is a coffin for ever. That is justice, swift. No fancy lawyers getting you out on bail. Me thinks this was not their 1st time. No luck 2day

A job well done. We also don't want endless investigations. So to prevent such let's gear up our body cameras and hit hard blokes. No time for supervisors to sleep on the job. They must always be present remotely or directly to give those orders for critical shot.

Great. More of this. Can't be thinking of the rights of criminals in such situations. Just shoot them dead...

Now that is law enforcement! Fantastic job guys!

Well done SAPoliceService you should alwys win.

Good 👍👍👍

Good, we are tired....

Good news.Police must not hesitate.
