A robber was detained by an off-duty security officer after a woman was shot on the N2 in Chesterville.
A woman was shot after she got out of her car to assess an obstruction on the N2 freeway at Chesterville. Medi Response paramedics reported that they responded after receiving reports of a shooting on Monday night.
“Upon arrival of the paramedics, it was established that a woman had been driving alone when she encountered rocks blocking the freeway.
