Two of the City of Cape Town's Law Enforcement Officers arrested two men that the South African Police Services have been looking for in connection with smash-and-grab incidents in the Elsies River area.
The officers were conducting patrols in Elsies River when they noticed a female motorist that was urgently trying to get their attention.
The left front window of her car was smashed and when they saw two males fleeing the scene on foot with the woman's handbag, they immediately chased after them.
As the officers were chasing the two suspected thieves, one of the men started firing shots at the unarmed officers.
The suspects were arrested and taken to the Ravensmead Police Station and charged with theft, smash-and-grab and attempted murder.
The SAPS confirmed that these suspects are linked to other smash-and-grab incidents that happened at this location.
"Law Enforcement Officers will continue to assist the public as they strive to create a safe, crime-free environment for all persons in the city," said Shaun Smith, who is the Enforcement Services Assistant Chief Law.
