THREE SCOUNDRELS NABBED FOR SERIES OF
CRIMES, ANOTHER DIED
KwaMhlanga – Three members of
Ngoma family were robbed of money and cellphones at gunpoint by four suspects
in their yard at Sun city AA in KwaMhlanga on 24 June 2015, at
approximately 14:00.
One of the victims, a 46-year-old man
(complainant), alleges that they were from a bank in Bronkhornspruit to
withdraw money with his sister and brother in-law. Immediately after they had
parked their car in the yard, the suspects who were driving in a white
Volkswagen (VW) Polo Vivo stopped in the victim’s yard, held them at gunpoint
and ordered them to get back into their vehicle.
One suspect searched the complainant
and took an undisclosed amount of cash from his jacket, whilst the other two
suspects searched his sister and brother in-law. They then took a bag
from his sister, put the money inside and drove away in their (suspects)
getaway vehicle.
The victims followed them in their
private car and called for back-up from the police who joined in the chase.
They drove to the R568 road towards Enkangala where the suspects’ car lost
control and overturned. One suspect ran away from the scene but was chased and
caught by police and one died on the spot as a result of the injuries sustained
during the accident. The two remaining suspects were seriously injured and
taken to hospital in a critical condition where they are under police guard.
Police further recovered the money and cell
phones that were stolen from the victims, as well as two firearms with serial
numbers filed off. Cases of armed robbery, possession of stolen property,
culpable homicide, possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition were opened
for investigation.
