Vattiekakie !!!

POLICE gunned down five heavily armed robbers during a foiled business robbery in Chevrolet Street, Markman Industrial Area, at about 9am this morning (Friday, 20).

The Tactical Response Team (TRT) had received information about the robbery and lay in wait outside the business. All five men, aged between 25 and 35, were killed when they attempted to shoot at police.

According to provincial police spokesman Brigadier Marinda Mills the TRT unit managed to confront the suspects before the robbery took place.

Six 9mm pistols were recovered on the scene as well as a white VW Jetta thought to be the getaway vehicle.

Provincial police commissioner Lieutenant General Celiwe Binta said the foiled heist sent a strong message to criminals "that we are squeezing their space to zero”.

I hope they didn't die right away, but had a few minutes to regret the crappy lifestyle they chose before the bled out on the dusty floor.

It seems the TRT in PE is kept busy of late. Some time back they were shooting at robbers trying to hijack a truck with platinum on.

Good work SAPS, keep it going. Score 1 for the good guys.

Wanted to say the same thing.

Seems like anything larger than an airgun is a high caliber weapon.

Anyway, Good Job Police!

or

an AR 9mm pistol

Do the other metros have TRT's? If so, why are they sitting on their hands? Letting Bay Police show them the way.

Good on yer - 5 less criminals to plague us
