The first suspect, an 18-year-old male, was apprehended on Tuesday 19 August when he sought medical assistance at a facility in Lentegeur. It is believed he was shot in the attack on the three victims when one of the vehicle occupants allegedly fired a shot in response. He is currently under police guard in hospital.&#8221; \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Potelwa added that initial reports of the incident indicated the attack was perpetrated by three males, and another arrest was expected in due course.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nyanga Community Policing Forum (CPF) secretary <a href=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/cityvision\/two-teens-arrested-for-attempted-murder-hijacking-of-three-da-mpls\/\">Dumisani Qwebe<\/a> lambasted the attack, describing it as barbaric. He praised the swift action of law-enforcement agencies. He said the attack, if anything, should serve as a wake-up call to government that crime was a serious problem in the townships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The crime in Nyanga precinct is out of hand. Law-enforcement officers are fighting a losing battle because they don&#8217;t have enough resources.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 16-year-old male has been arrested
