Couple escape being shot in Atholl

A MARRIED couple escaped being shot by two suspects on a motorbike in Atholl.

Warrant Officer Moses Maphakela, spokesperson for the Bramley police said, “The couple were coming from Fourways when they were first followed by the suspects. The husband later realised that he and his wife were being followed. When he slowed down, the motorbike parked next to their vehicle. One of the suspects pulled out a gun but the man accelerated and managed to escape the suspects.”

No one was injured and the police were contacted. “When inspecting his vehicle he [the motorist] found a bullet hole in his car,” said Maphakela. An empty firearm cartridge was also found on the road.”

Maphakela added when motorists suspected they were being followed they should drive to the nearest police station.
