At least one suspect has been killed, and two others arrested after a high-speed car chase that ended on Arries Road in Surrey Estate, Cape Town.
According to Manenberg police spokesperson, Captain Ian Bennett, officers on patrol were alerted by a female victim that she had been robbed at gunpoint by three men in a white VW Polo in the Gugulethu policing precinct.
The vehicle was spotted, and officers attempted to pull it over, but the suspects sped away.
A high-speed chase ensued, during which the driver of the getaway vehicle lost control and collided with a SAPS vehicle on Arries Road.
The trio, all foreign nationals, attempted to flee. Bennett stated that one of the suspects turned and pointed a firearm at the officers, prompting them to respond, fatally wounding him.
A 22-year-old Zimbabwean suspect was also injured and is currently under police guard in the hospital.
A 27-year-old suspect, also from Zimbabwe, was detained.
Bennett confirmed that an inquest case has been registered to investigate the incident, which occurred on Wednesday morning.
