A number of unknown suspects attacked and fired shots at a parked CIT vehicle and fled the scene in vehicles with an undisclosed amount of money.
“Six suspects were arrested, two of whom were wounded in the shoot-out. Seven firearms, including rifles and pistols, were recovered and three vehicles were seized,” said national police spokesperson Colonel Brenda Muridili.
Shange joined the SAPS in March last year and completed his training at Tswane Training College in December last year.
