Provincial detectives are hard at work in pursuit of suspects following the brazen attack on the Lingelethu West police station in Khayelitsha in the early hours of 28 June 2017.
A sergeant at the station was shot in the face when suspects entered the police station under the pretext of reporting a robbery incident. They fired shots in the community service centre and police responded. The suspects then fled the scene. The motive for the attack at this stage has not yet been established.
Western Cape Provincial Commissioner, Lt General Khombinkosi Jula has condemned the attack. General Jula has assured that the perpetrators of this act will be brought to book and they will face the consequences. “Police are there to protect communities. An act of this nature undermines the authority of the state”, says Lt General Jula.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the SAPS Crime Stop on 08600 10111.
