A manhunt has been launched to track, trace and arrest the two suspects who allegedly attempted to rob and stabbed a private security officer at an entrance gate in Addo Heights Road, at the Addo National Park.

It is alleged that the security guard was on duty last night, Tuesday, 11 February 2020 at about 19:50, at the entrance gate when a red Toyota Tazz, with unknown registration number, stopped at the gate. One person disembarked from the vehicle and approached the security guard.

The unknown man, suddenly took out a firearm and instructed the security guard to hand over his firearm. The security guard informed the suspect that he was not carrying a firearm.  The second suspect, carrying a knife joined in and also enquired about the firearm. He then stabbed the security officer in both his hands.

The security officer managed to run out of the guard house and immediately reported the matter to the police. The security officer received medical treatment for his wounds.  A case of attempted robbery was opened and is being investigated by Addo SAPS.   

The investigation continues and no arrests have been made as yet.
