WESTERN CAPE– The vigilance and quick response by Flying Squad members landed two suspects behind bars shortly after they killed two men in Athlone. Last night at around 22:00 members of the Flying Squad responded to the sounds of gunshots in Primrose Street Silvertown when they spotted a Toyota Avanza with two male occupants firing shots from the vehicle.
The suspects were pursued and arrested after they collided with a tree in Klipfontein Road. It was established that the vehicle had been hijacked earlier in Parktown and that two unknown men were shot and killed not far from where the suspects aged 18 and 26 were arrested.
The circumstances are being investigated and the suspects are due to make a court appearance in Athlone on Monday 2019-06-10.
