Malamulele police station attacked, officers held at gunpoint
A group of armed suspects stormed the Malamulele Police
Station in Limpopo on Sunday evening and held police officers on duty at
gunpoint.
National police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe said the suspects then made it to the safe.
“Some members were forced into the back of a police van while one member was ordered to unlock the saw where the suspects took R5 rifles, 9mm pistols, shotguns and an undisclosed amount of ammunition.”
The group managed to rob a local food outlet and a filing station of undisclosed amounts of cash following the attack at the police station.
“All role players, including a multidisciplinary team consisting of crime scene experts, and specialised units within SAPs are combing the scene and are in pursuit of the heavily armed men,” added Mathe.
