One of the men is believed to have escaped the police dragnet which included a helicopter and a large police contingent who were believed to be hot on their trail.

Speculation is rife that the men were involved in a business and post office robbery in Eldorado Park Extension Five, and we are awaiting an official statement from the Eldorado Park SAPS before this can be corroborated.

Details are sketchy at this time and we will provide more information as soon as it becomes available.
