In a shocking incident at the Total Garage located at the intersection of Rev Namane and Flint Mazibuko Streets Hospital View Tembisa a brazen group of approximately twenty heavily armed suspects including two women carried out a daring ATM and dropsafe bombing operation.
The audacious heist unfolded when the suspects utilizing four vehicles targeted the ATM and dropsafe with explosive force. The deafening blast drew the attention of a passing Tembisa police patrol vehicle. However the situation took a dire turn as the suspects opened fire on the police injuring the driver in the right leg.
Despite the wounded officer swift response in driving off and calling for backup the reinforcements a patrol vehicle from Ivory Park SAPS faced a barrage of gunfire upon arrival.
