Greenhills shooting: Security guard nabs robber
‘He said ‘don’t shoot me’ I wouldn’t have shot him – I was just looking to take him into custody’ – Security Guard.
A local security company has come forward about the happenings around the shooting in Greenhills on Falcon Street last week.
Dirk Calitz en Christo Myburgh from Mapogo Security were on duty the night of the Falcon Street shooting.
Myburgh explained that Mapogo got a panic button signal from a house in Falcon Street but the crime actually occurred next door to the house who signalled the panic.
Myburgh says they dispatched as usual and said they got a tip off that one of the suspects are in Kenneth Road.
Myburgh and Calitz went out to investigate the house the suspect was believed to be in when Calitz heard a voice call out to him.
At first he thought it was the neighbour only to find it was the suspect hiding behind a very small bush in the yard of a home in Kenneth Road.
Calitz said the suspect surrendered and came out with his hands up. “He said ‘don’t shoot me’ I wouldn’t have shot him – I was just looking to take him into custody,” he said.
It is believed that the rest of the suspects fled on foot and are still wanted by the police.
