A police officer was shot during a high speed chase at the Bayside Shopping Centre over the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The officer was part of the contingent that gave chase to a group of armed robbers following an armed robbery at a cellphone store at the mall, says provincial police spokesperson, Brigadier Novela Potelwa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTable View police followed information about a white getaway [vehicle] after an armed robbery at a cellular store and pursued it. Once the suspects realised the police were on their heels they abandoned the vehicle and ran in different directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat did not deter the police; they continued a high speed chase and apprehended five suspects.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Potelwa says one suspect was arrested on the scene on West Coast Road, where the police constable was shot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFour other suspects were arrested in the Sunningdale residential area and two of them were arrested with the assistance of a local security company,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPolice recovered 30 cellular telephones taken from the robbery. The getaway vehicle was also seized. All suspects will appear in court soon. A police investigation initiated will also determine if the suspects can be linked to other crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Provincial police commissioner, Lieutenant General Khombinkosi Jula, has commended the members involved for their good work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
