VIDEO: High-speed chase on M4 leads to arrest
The suspect is reportedly linked to common robbery cases in the uMhlanga and Durban North areas.
DRAMATIC dashcam footage of a high-speed chase on the M4 between members of Marshall Security and an alleged robbery suspect has emerged.
“The suspect, who was arrested on Thursday evening, is reportedly linked to cases in the uMhlanga, Durban North, Morningside and Davenport areas,” said Marshall Security spokesperson Tyron Powell.
“At approximately 21:30, our members were on routine patrol in the uMhlanga area when they noticed two suspects robbing a victim of their cellphone on Ocean Way. After robbing the victim, the suspects then jumped into a white VW Polo and immediately fled the scene, and a high-speed chase ensued.”
“In an attempt to get away, the suspects travelled contra-flow on the M4 and later lost control of their vehicle after colliding with another motorist just before the Glenashley turn-off. One suspect was immediately arrested while the second suspect entered a nearby thick, dense bush and managed to evade arrest,” Powell said.
The arrested suspect was handed over to the Durban North SAPS.
According to Powell, the suspects’ modus operandi is to drive up to vulnerable victims and forcefully snatch their valuables before jumping into the vehicle and speeding off.
