Reports indicate that a Toyota Avanza which was reported hijacked in Port Shepstone earlier on the day was spotted on the N2 Northbound in Umgababa and relevant law enforcement agencies were activated.
The driver of the vehicle ignored police’s instructions for him to stop and a high speed chase ensued. The driver of the suspects’ vehicle got out the vehicle while it was still in motion and the vehicle veered off the road.
Three men were found inside the vehicle with two firearms and ammunition. Preliminary investigations revealed that one of the firearms was stolen during a house robbery at Mzamba in the Eastern Cape earlier this month.
The driver was also arrested after officers from the Durban K9 unit outsmarted him. The suspects will appear in court soon.
