Investigations have begun into how a daring escape attempt at the North Gauteng High Court, by five members of the Boeremag, was allowed to take place.

Police spokesperson Sally de Beer says the men, who have all since been recaptured, sprayed ammonia into the eyes of the police members who were guarding them at the court.

De Beer says an investigation into how the suspects got their hands on the ammonia has begun.
