Police were patrolling in the Belhar area when they came across suspects in the act, attempting to rob someone on Wednesday.
Upon seeing police
presence, the suspects fled the scene on a motor vehicle, that police said had
no registration number attached.

suspects as they refused to stop the vehicle and the members fired several
shots to the wheels in efforts to stop the vehicle but the suspects sped forth,”
said Lieutenant Colonel Malcolm Pojie, Western Cape police spokesperson.
“The vehicle eventually
stopped and the suspects fled on foot but were quickly apprehended by the
officers. The suspects sustained injuries during the altercation with the
police and they are in custody under police guard in a medical facility where
they are receiving treatment,” added Pojie.
The suspects will be
charged with possession of an imitation firearm, reckless and negligent driving.
Once they have been
charged they will make their first court appearance in the Bellville Magistrate
court.
