Four men have been arrested for attempted murder after a shooting incident in Riebeek West yesterday.
It is alleged that the suspects, driving in a white Toyota Corolla, went into a shop in Hof Street demanding money that the shop owner allegedly owed them.
An argument ensued during which two of the suspects took out firearms and fired shots at customers inside the shop.
Two men sustained gunshot wounds during the incident and were both taken to hospital.
Captain Bernadine Steyn says the suspects fled the scene in the Toyota Corolla and drove towards Riebeek Kasteel.
Two of the people who were in the shop during the incident followed the suspects in a Toyota bakkie.
“The occupants in the bakkie allegedly tried to push the Corolla off the road after which both vehicles lost control and overturned. Both occupants in the bakkie passed away on the scene,” said Steyn.
Steyn also said that one of the suspects broke his leg during the accident and he is currently in hospital under police guard.
The other three suspects were arrested on the scene and they will appear in the Malmesbury Magistrates’ court soon.
