In a joint operation, three suspects linked to courier robberies were fatally wounded. The operation involved SAPS Counter Intelligence Investigation Head Office, SAPS Gauteng Tactical Response Team (TRT), CAP Specialised Operations, Tracker Connect, Gemini Global Defense, Gauteng Traffic Police Airwing, and RTT. The officers had intelligence regarding suspects linked to courier robberies and other armed robberies. The suspects were reportedly operating in Mondeor, utilizing a Toyota Corolla to commit crimes, and were later spotted on the N12 highway heading towards Soweto. A high-speed pursuit ensued when members attempted to stop the vehicle, which eventually came to a standstill on the highway, resulting in the fatal wounding of three suspects. A victim, who had been hijacked earlier and held hostage, was rescued from the vehicle. Recovered items included unlicensed fi****ms, ammunition, and stolen goods such as courier packages. Further intelligence gathered led to a raid in Katlehong, where a Hyundai H100 linked to an Alberton case was found.
