Their arrest follows an incident that took place on 7 August 2019 at 21:00. The complainant was driving his vehicle at Bhambayi in Inanda when two unknown men forced him out of his vehicle at gunpoint.

He was shot on his thigh during the carjacking and the suspects fled with his vehicle. He was taken to the hospital for medical attention.

The arrested suspects will be appearing at the Ntuzuma Magistrates Court.
