Media Statement POLOKWANE – The members of Westenburg SAPS are hunting for four suspects who committed an attempted murder along N1 road next to a Shell Garage on 01, May 2024 at about 14:20. According to police reports, a foreign national truck driver was driving his work truck from Johannesburg to Polokwane. He pulled into the N1 fuelling station near Polokwane, bought some drinks, got into his truck, and drove away. As he drove, four unknown males, one of whom was armed approached his truck while in motion from the passenger side. They then pointed a firearm at him, in an attempt to stop him but refused to stop and drove off speedily. One suspect fired one shot at the passenger side window, which got partly shattered. He accelerated until he reached Westenburg police station to report the incident. He never stopped at the scene; a gunshot passed right by him. A case of attempted murder was opened. Anyone with information that can assist with the arrest of the suspects should contact Westernburg Detective Commander Eddie Hlaraka on 082 729 0049, crime stop number 08600 10111, the nearest police station, or share information on My SAPS App.
