Three armed would-be robbers were arrested by the police in Virginia.
On 25 November at about 12:45, the Virginia police received an intelligence led information about four armed men in a silver Toyota Avanza heading towards Virginia.
The police officials advanced and drove around in Queensway until the vehicle was spotted, a brief chase ensued and the suspect’s vehicle came to an abrupt stop.
Three men jumped out and started running.
One of the suspects started shooting at the police.
The police returned fire and the man was cornered and arrested.
The two other suspects were also apprehended after the police found them hiding in a bush.
They found a 9 mm pistol star Norinco with three live rounds and a black blow P29 9 mm with two rounds.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the three suspects were illegal immigrants, and that the vehicle used was also stolen in Thabong in May 2022.
The suspects aged between 32 and 47-years-old were arrested for possession of unlicensed firearms and attack on police.
