Five alleged farm attackers, who shot and seriously injured a 71-year-old woman, her son (47) and a farmworker, have been captured after a farm attack on Thursday.

According to the Limpopo police, five armed men entered he Schietfontein farm house on Thursday morning and demanded money and firearms.

After injuring three people, the suspects fled with money, firearms and ammunition.

The team tracked down the suspects who were hiding within the farming precinct and they were arrested.

“The police recovered the stolen items during the arrest,” he says.

The provincial police commissioner Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe has commended the dedicated teams from the SAPS, SANDF and farmers in the Alldays area who tracked down the suspects.
