A Johannesburg metro police sergeant shot an armed robber at a house in Lang street in Rosettenville on Monday morning, metro police said.

Spokesman Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar said the officer, 51, drove past the house at around 3.20am.

"The victims of the house ran outside and alerted the sergeant as he drove past. One of the armed robbers was shot, and the exact details of the shooting will be investigated," he said.

"Five other suspects jumped into a car and sped off, leaving the one suspect behind who has been taken to hospital with a wound to his chin."

Minnaar said the men fled with nine cellphones, a laptop, a TV and an undisclosed amount of cash.

No one else was injured.

This is scary. What chance will you have against six people breaking into your home?

It is a pity that the other five got away.

Eek! My dad lived on Lang street for years... Moved after a armed home invasion a while back. Rosettenville is the same suburb Lucky Dube was shot and killed in... Sad shadow of its former self.
