Swift action by the Tshwane District’s law enforcement led to the capture of ten suspects in Winterveldt, north of Pretoria. During the arrest, one suspect resisted, confronting the police with a firearm. In response, officers discharged a single shot, resulting in the suspect’s death.

Further investigation revealed that the deceased had connections to four robbery cases in Pretoria North, with accusations including firearm offences and rape. These individuals are also suspected of orchestrating criminal activities along the R80, N1, and N4 corridors.
