Police officer and civilian arrested after foiled hijacking in Boksburg
The suspects were driving in a metro police vehicle fitted with blue lights and false number plates.
Members of the EMPD foiled the hijacking of a delivery truck transporting masks on the N12 in Boksburg yesterday afternoon.
Preliminary investigations have revealed that one of the arrested suspects is an EMPD police officer.
The suspects tried to evade arrests by trying to drive away, resulting in a high-speed chase that resulted in their getaway vehicle crashing into a truck on the corner of Rolls Royce Street and Atlas Road in Atlasville.
They are both expected to appear in court soon.
The arrested pair was allegedly part of four other suspects who managed to get away. Police are now tracing the suspects who got away.
Anyone with information that may lead to the arrests of the wanted suspects is encouraged to contact the SAPS Crime Stop number 08600 10111
