At least three civilians were injured after being struck by a Law Enforcement vehicle as officers were pursuing a suspect in Valhalla Park. According to Law Enforcement spokesperson, Wayne Dyson, bystanders retaliated by stoning the vehicle while the officers were inside it. They managed to run to safety. It's alleged the crowd tried to set alight a law enforcement vehicle. Three other vehicles were damaged by stones that were thrown. Three body cameras, EPIC devices, and cellphones were also stolen. The City has issued a R20 000 reward for information about this incident and to find those responsible for the damage and theft of City of Cape Town assets.
