Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) received a call for assistance from a member of the public requesting assistance. The caller informed the Controller On Duty that vehicle was driving around the area and the occupants were firing shots.
Multiple Reaction Officers were dispatched. Officers patrolled the area and recovered the vehicle abandoned after it crashed down an embankment. Several spent .38 Special cartridges were recovered in the car.
An initial registration check confirmed that the vehicle was not sought after, but RUSA Members later established that it was hijacked from the same area prior to the accident.
