According to Powell, the suspects then fled into a nearby dense bush, and the SAPS called the Durban K9 Unit for assistance.
“A short while later, the Durban K9 Unit arrived on scene and entered the bush in search of the suspects. One suspect exited the bush and attempted to flee by getting into a taxi. Our officer immediately reacted and apprehended the suspect. The Durban K9 Unit continued to search for the other two suspects, and during the search, one suspect was shot dead and the third suspect was arrested by the Durban K9 Unit,” he said.
