Pretoria – National police commissioner General Khehla John Sitole on Thursday welcomed the arrest of four suspects believed to be part of a group responsible for the attack on police officers and a business robbery. “The Limpopo provincial police implemented the 72-hour activation plan immediately after the attack on four police members who were on patrol at the Apel shopping centre in two vehicles.
“The three police officers were hospitalised, two for treatment of gunshot wounds and the other as a result of having been assaulted. Two members have since been discharged and the member still in hospital is reported to be in a stable condition,” said Muridili. On Thursday morning, Muridili said the crime intelligence unit gave information on the location of two more suspects to the police tracking team and highway patrol.
“They will be joining their accomplices, 25-year-old Thulani Maseko and Moses Zulu ,aged 36, who are currently in custody awaiting their formal bail application scheduled for 2 July 2020.
