EASTERN CAPE - PE FLYING SQUAD APPREHEND KNYSNA ROBBERS IN HGH SPEED N2 CHASE

Members of the Flying Squad were almost completing their tour of duty when they responded to information about a business robbery which occurred in the Knysna area in the Western Cape. It was further alleged that the suspects were seen passing the toll road at Tsitsikamma, heading for the Eastern Cape.

At about 18:45, the members headed towards the N2 and just outside Humansdorp, the suspected vehicle was seen speeding away from ensuing private security vehicles. The members joined in the chase and succeeded in forcing it off the road. One suspect (39) was apprehended. Two cellphones, a watch and a small amount of cash was seized. The VW Polo TSI was also confiscated.

Humandsorp Cluster Commander, Brig Lebok complimented the members and the security company for their excellent team effort and commitment in expeditiously locating the sought vehicle and apprehending the suspect.

“Our men and women in blue are alert and criminals are warned that we will not tolerate them committing crimes in other Provinces and think of escaping to the Eastern Cape. This speedy arrest is an excellent example of ‘you can run but you cannot hide.’ The members made sure that the suspect was safely back in the Western Cape before reporting off duty at 01:00 this morning, 15 September 2019,” added Brig Lebok.
