A metro police officer paid with his life trying to help his Edleen neighbours during an armed robbery and attempted hijacking on Saturday afternoon.
According to Supt Wilfred Kgasago, metro police spokesman, the officer went out of his Flamboyant Street house when the robbery took place across the road from his house. He was gunned down.
Kgasago said two men had been arrested in connection with the crime, one in Kempton Park and another in Tembisa. A manhunt has been launched for two more suspects.
The police and forensics are still on the scene.
Kgasago could not release the victim’s name at this stage.
