Milnerton police this week confirmed they are investigating the murder of an Uber driver and the attempted murder of a security guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police say the driver, who was shot dead over the weekend, was in his private capacity at the time of the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 35-year-old victim lived around the corner from where the incident happened, a Milnerton police spokesperson says, adding that the matter is being investigated and all leads are being followed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to media reports, the attack happened on Saturday in Summer Greens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police are also investigating a case of attempted murder following an attack on an alarm company security guard early Monday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This comes after unidentified men blew up a drop safe and fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of cash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incident happened just after midnight near the Spar store on the corner of Loxton and Millvale roads in Milnerton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While attempting to escape, the men opened fire on a security guard who gave chase. No arrests have yet been made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyone with information that might assist in solving either case is requested to contact the investigating officer on 082\u2009958\u20092647, or Crime Stop on 08600\u200910111.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
