Three alleged hijackers were shot dead by police members on Monday afternoon on Old Pretoria Road at the intersection with the R25.

According to Gerald Groenewald from Sec Pros Security, they received a call shortly after 1pm.

“Police were chasing the suspects, who were allegedly driving a car stolen in Kempton Park two weeks ago,” Groenewald told Express.

When the suspects would not stop, a chase ensued and the suspects were fatally wounded.

“It’s a biggie, multiple services are responding,” Groenewald said as the scene unfolded.

By 2pm the intersection was still an active crime scene and motorists are urged to avoid the area.

This is a developing story.
