GQEBERHA <\/strong>– SAPS launched a manhunt for an armed suspect after he allegedly opened fire on a police patrol vehicle and injured one officer in Missionvale, Gqeberha yesterday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the SAPS spokesperson, Warrant Officer Majola Nkohli, information in police records indicates that on Sunday, 28 September around 23:00, members of the Algoa Park SAPS were conducting routine patrols in Jack Road, Missionvale, when an unknown man emerged from between houses and opened fire on a patrol vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“One police constable sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was rushed to hospital. The suspect managed to flee and is still at large,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police are appealing to the community for assistance in tracing the unknown suspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nkohli added that anyone with any information that could assist the investigating team is urged to contact the investigating officer, Detective Warrant Officer Errol Kleinhans on 083 243 4567.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The acting Provincial Commissioner, Major General Thandiswa Kupiso, condemned this brazen act of violence. “We have activated maximum resources and expertise to assist with the investigation. An attack on the police is an attack on the state, and we will not rest until the perpetrator is apprehended,” concluded Kupiso.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
