Acting spokesperson for the Edenvale SAPS, Lieutenant Colonel Robbie Roberts, confirmed the men opened fire on security personnel from a vehicle tracking company when they were cornered after the accident.
“A response officer from the tracking company retaliated and fired a number of shots at the occupants of the vehicle,” Lt Col Roberts said.

The men attempted to flee.
One of the men was arrested on scene and the other was arrested by members of the SAPS a short while later.
The vehicle the men were traveling was hijacked earlier the same day in Brixton.
One of the firearms recovered at the scene was a toy gun believed to be used in the hijacking.
