POLOKWANE – According to police spokesperson Lt Col Moatshe Ngoepe, nine foreign nationals were traveling from Gauteng to Zimbabwe, in a Toyota Quantum along the N1 North.
About 20km out of Polokwane, a silver grey Toyota Avanza forced them off the road.
“The suspects shot randomly until the Quantam lost control and got stuck in a donga alongside the road,” explains Ngoepe.
The armed suspects searched the Quantum and robbed all the occupants of an undisclosed amount of money and drove away.
