Johannesburg - Police shot dead a robber in Brenthurst, east of Johannesburg, on Wednesday afternoon, a Gauteng police spokesperson said on Thursday.

"The suspects started shooting at the police who returned fire. One of the suspects... was fatally shot and three more arrested," said Lieutenant Colonel Tshisikhawe Ndou.

The shoot-out erupted after the gang robbed a business in Brakpan. Police believe armed men followed an employee of the Brakpan business back to his workplace after seeing him withdraw money from a local bank.

At gunpoint, they ordered a security guard at the business to open the gate. The robbers fired what Ndou described as a warning shot at the worker who had drawn money. A second shot fired by the thugs hit the employee in the foot.

The robbers fled with an undisclosed amount of cash, but the employee followed them, noted the makes of two getaway cars, and alerted the police.

In Brenthurst, police spotted the getaway cars and chased them, but the robbers opened fire, Ndou said.

In the ensuing shoot-out one of the robbers was killed, but no police officers were wounded.

He said that one of the getaway cars, a VW Polo, was later found abandoned.

Three men, aged between 28 and 35, were arrested and were expected to be charged with business robbery and attempted murder.

Great news guys :)
 
Awesome! And well done to that employee by acting quick to get the vehicle details!
 
Rot in hell! Wouldn't be surprised if that VW Polo belonged to yours truly 2 months ago.
 
good news to see another scumbag bite the dust. Probably some sort of inside job though, pity they did not kill all the robbers, that would have been awesome.
 
Great News! I love it when these scumbags take a fatal shot and bleed out in the street. They deserve to die like rotten trash in the dirty streets.
 
Well done to the cops. Another day, another act of extraordinary bravery, another dead scumbag

In a world of 6 billion people, I aint gonna cry over one pathetic criminal. I might even raise a glass to the policeman who shot him.

Why not? By shooting this guy dead, the cops have most likely saved innocent people from being killed by that criminal in the future.

So we are basically celebrating saved lives :)
