News – South Africa: Tip-off leads to N3 shootout

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.

Detectives of Durban’s organised crime unit killed five men in a shootout on the N3 northbound carriageway near Camperdown on Wednesday.

Members of the unit had received a tip that a minibus taxi was taking nine armed men to Pietermaritzburg to commit a robbery somewhere in the city.

Police Superintendent Henry Budhram said the location that the men had planned to rob was unknown.

“The detectives from the unit watched the highway as traffic passed by, and after a while noticed the suspect minibus with the suspected gunmen inside.

“The minibus was then followed for a short distance before officers ordered the driver of the vehicle to pull off to the side of the road,” said Budhram.

As the taxi came to a halt, its occupants alighted and opened fire on the officers who returned fire.

“Five of the taxi’s occupants were shot and killed, and the remaining four were arrested. Several handguns belonging to the men were recovered,” Budhram said.

The men in custody would be charged with attempted armed robbery, possession of unlicensed firearms and attempted murder.
