Cape Town – A suspected car thief was shot dead in Westgate on Wednesday, a second man was wounded and two more were arrested after a shootout with police.
Police confirmed that they had shot dead one of the men and arrested three others.
One had scaled the wall of a property in La Provence Close.
A neighbour, who was woken by the sound of gunshots, but declined to be named, said: “Because it’s a public holiday many people were asleep at the time.”
She said a man had climbed her neighbour’s wall in an attempt to flee.
“The poor woman appeared to be very shocked by the whole incident because when the robber jumped over her wall he told her to keep quiet, but she was lucky because police were already on his trail.”
The woman was unharmed and police arrested the suspect shortly afterwards…
