Three men were arrested on Monday night for an alleged shooting in Hanover Park.
According to Const Ndakhe Gwala of the police’s provincial media office, the men had allegedly been involved in a shooting in Hanover Park at about 20:00.
The vehicle linked to the shooting, a silver VW Jetta, was later spotted at a garage in Lentegeur.
