Cops shoot dead 7 robbers

Polokwane - Police shot and killed seven armed men who broke into a security company's cash depot in Polokwane on Sunday morning.

Responding to a call, police went to a break-in in progress at the Protea Coin Group's cash depot in Nirvana, and found the suspected thieves in the building, national police spokesperson Nonkululeko Mbatha said in a statement.

"It seems that they had already tampered with the alarm system and hacked their way through burglar bars into the main vault of the cash depot."

Realising they were surrounded, the robbers opened fire on police, who shot back. Three firearms and house breaking equipment were found on the would-be robbers, who were wearing gloves and balaclavas.

No police officers were hurt.

Police Commissioner Bheki Cele said in a statement: "With the festive season upon us, we are bound to see more people try their luck. But we are ready ensure that our people are not held to ransom by criminals and violent thugs."

Good.
 
Nice shooting cops :)
I don't generally have a good opinion on the SA police but it does make me like them a little more when stories like these pop up. Hopefully this scares a few other criminals into reconsidering their life choices too.
 
Good to know the cops are still the more accurate bunch :)

the IDC should investigate all police shootings, but yeah hope they dont come up with ridiculous stuff, in my opinion any criminal who carries a lethal weapon into a robbery should be shot, they already made the decision to rather kill civilians and police than get arrested.
