The Hawks and SAPS task force arrested two more suspects believed to be members of the larger group responsible for the shootout that took place in Ga-Nala in August this year.
The arrests came at the hands of police during operations held throughout the area of eMalahleni. Const Tami Kubeka (38) and Const Daniel Mahlangu (30) were taken into custody in the early hours of Friday morning, September 9.
The two men who were arrested at their homes are accused of being part of a larger group that was conspiring to execute cash in transit robberies in the Mpumalanga area.
One of the suspects attempted to shoot his way to freedom but was quickly overpowered. The Hawks seized firearms, suspected stolen laptops and cellphones as well as two BMW’s, once of which is still brand new.
The two men later appeared before the Kriel Magistrate’s Court and are currently being held in police custody pending their next appearance at the same court on 16 September 2016.
