Gauteng police say the group has already been linked with a string of serious and violent crime incidents in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg.
According to South African Police Services (SAPS) spokesperson, Lungelo Dlamini, the police seized two unlicensed firearms with ammunition and a suspected stolen vehicle.
"The arrest and seizure came after a team of detectives investigating serious and violent crimes observed a suspicious vehicle which failed to stop when they approached it," adds Dlamini.
A high-speed chase and a shoot-out ensued and the suspected vehicle crashed into the boom gates of a complex.
During the shootout, two suspects were fatally shot and another arrested.
Police impounded a vehicle suspected to have been stolen at Pretoria Central.
"The police officers were not hurt during the cross-fire. Two inquest dockets have been registered for investigation," says Dlamini.
The arrested suspect is due to appear at the Alexandra Magistrates' Court on Monday.
