SA: Robbers wounded in shootout with police

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Two of three armed men suspected of robbing a Pretoria family of their household goods and a car were wounded during a shoot-out with police on Wednesday, police said.

Inspector Paul Ramoloko said three men entered a house in Hercules and assaulted its family members before ransacking their home.

The men then loaded the stolen goods inside the family’s Toyota Tazz and fled.

Ramoloko said patrolling police officers were alerted about the robbery and they saw the car and called for more back-up.

Metro police officers responded to the call.

“The police and metro officers chased the robbers who were driving on Pretoria road and heading to Mamelodi.”

Ramoloko said when the robbers reached the Deboom area in Pretoria, they got out of the car and started shooting at police.

Police shot back and wounded two robbers and the third escaped.

The two were taken to hospital under a heavy police guard and the search for the third suspect was underway, Ramoloko said.

The car and the items taken from the house were recovered.

The robbers would face charges of house robbery, attempted murder, possession of an unlicensed firearm, possession of suspected stolen goods, resisting arrest and discharging of a firearm.

Ramoloko said the men would appear in the Mamelodi magistrate’s court once they had recuperated. – Sapa
