Police recovered an unlicensed firearm and arrested three suspects after a high-speed chase and shoot-out on the R63 near Bhisho Hospital on Friday.
The drama unfolded when police drove past Bhisho Park, where they spotted a stationary Toyota Tazz with a driver and a passenger in the back seat. A third suspect immediately jumped into the back seat when he saw the police stopping.
“The suspects’ vehicle then sped off and drove down the R63 towards Komga,” said police spokesperson Capt Khaya Tonjeni.
