Fortunately, inside the pharmacy were two customers one of whom was a member of the police and the other a civilian.

“The suspects tried to flee the scene up Acacia Street in Northcliff and shortly after lost control of the hijacked vehicle due to their injuries,” the report read.
It was reported that the passenger of the hijacked car was shot in the head and transported to hospital under police guard and the driver was declared dead on the scene.
