SUBURB: MORNINGSIDE / DURBAN
At approximately 05:30 on Friday morning, Marshall Security intercepted suspects wanted in connection with multiple business robberies as well as the attempted murder of a private security officer.
Marshall Security Special Operations Team members spotted two vehicles travelling at high speed on Inanda Road and began following towards Newlands. A highspeed chase ensued with the suspects opening fire on our officers who returned fire.
The driver of the vehicle lost control of the vehicle, colliding with a boundary wall in Bodley Grove, Newlands West. Five suspects alighted from the vehicle and fled on foot into nearby bushes. One man was apprehended by members of Marshall Security and the South African Police Services Provincial Trio Crimes Task Team.
A search of the vehicle revealed several computers confirmed to have been taken in a robbery at a business premises in the Durban CBD earlier this morning. A firearm containing live ammunition and several housebreaking implements were recovered. The suspect vehicle was fitted with false registration plates.
The suspects are confirmed to have been linked to several cases of business robbery in the greater Durban area of late as well as a shooting and attempted murder of a private security officer in the Morningside area last week.
The scene was secured and handed over to the South African Police Services for further investigation and processing.
