The members followed the signal and noticed the vehicle, a Suzuki sedan, travelling in Mgonci Street, KwaNobuhle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to police spokesperson, Capt. Gerda Swart, when the driver of the Suzuki noticed the police members, he fired shots at the police and sped off at a high speed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPolice members returned fire and a high speed chase ensued. The driver of the Suzuki allegedly lost control over the vehicle and drove into a fence in Kondile Street, KwaNobuhle,\u201d Swart said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe 25-year-old suspect jumped out of the vehicle, but was successfully apprehended by the police. Members confiscated a 7.65mm pistol with several rounds. The serial number of the firearm was filed off,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The suspect sustained a gunshot wound to his lower back and was admitted to a local hospital for medical treatment.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The suspect faces charges ranging from: attempted murder, possession of a prohibited firearm, the illegal possession of ammunition, reckless and\/or negligent driving and the use of a motor vehicle without the owner\u2019s consent (KwaDwesi case).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The firearm will be sent for ballistic testing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6
