Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>After noticing and approaching a suspicious-looking vehicle in Westbury, police officers launched a high-speed chase and shootout that left one suspect dead and three others arrested.<\/p>\n

While on patrol, Sophiatown police officers came across maroon-coloured Audi Q5 on Sunday.<\/p>\n

According to police, one of the occupants in the Audi opened fire on police as their vehicle drew closer.<\/p>\n

The Audi then sped off towards Florida.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe high-speed chase ended at the corner of Nadine and Albertina Sisulu in Florida when the Audi came to a stop after a tyre burst,\u201d police spokesperson Brigadier Brenda Muridili said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspects tried to shoot their way out, but the police retaliated.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThree suspects were arrested. One managed to flee on foot while the other was declared dead on the scene. SAPS members did not sustain any injuries,\u201d Muridili added.<\/p>\n

Police seized one firearm from the suspects, which was discovered to have been stolen in De Deur in January.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be sent for ballistic tests at the Forensic Science Laboratory to determine whether it has been used in other violent crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Muridili said the arrested suspects would also be profiled to determine whether they have been involved in other serious and violent crimes.<\/p>\n

The suspects are expected to appear in the Roodepoort Magistrate\u2019s Court on Tuesday, facing charges including attempted murder and possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition.<\/p>\n
