Media Statement DURBAN – Police in KwaZulu-Natal have arrested two suspects shortly after a jewellery store was robbed at a shopping centre in Chatsworth on Friday afternoon. Information at this stage indicates that an unknown number of heavily armed suspects stormed into the jewellery store and fired shots, one of which ricocheted and injured an unsuspecting civilian on the face. Police responded and a shootout ensued during a chase. One Metro Police officer was shot and injured on the leg. Relentless police officers pursued the suspects and two of them were arrested in Umlazi. They were found in possession of two bloodstained getaway vehicles.
A manhunt is underway for the other suspects who managed to escape. Investigations are also ongoing to ascertain if the suspects are part of a group that robbed a jewellery store in Phoenix a week ago in an incident where a police officer was also shot and injured.
