Is this some kind of joke?
How are the ages of these things?
Cape Town -
A woman and four boys suspected of killing an elderly
farmer have been arrested after a shoot-out and high-
speed chase in Knysna, Western Cape police said on
Tuesday.
Police arrested the four, aged between 12 and 17, and a
22-year-old woman driving an Isuzu Frontier in the
Plettenberg Bay area towards Knysna, Captain Malcolm
Pojie said in a statement.
A provincial traffic officer saw the vehicle on Beacon Valley
road on Monday evening and noticed it had no number
plates.
“He gave chase as the suspicious vehicle sped away in the direction of
Knysna,” Pojie said.
As the vehicle neared Kwanokuthula, the occupants opened fire on the
officer, forcing him to follow at a safer distance. He called for back-up
and was joined by the Knysna police and another traffic officer.
“As the vehicle entered Knysna, the driver lost control near the George
Rex junction with the N2. It overturned, careered down the steep
embankment and landed in a ditch,” Pojie said.
Inside the vehicle were a woman and four boys. The woman and two of
the boys suffered serious injuries and were taken to hospital under
police guard. The other two were taken to the Knysna police station.
Police believed a sixth passenger managed to run away.
He is believed to be 22 years old, of medium build and dressed in a
white, Hi-Tech top. He may have sustained facial injuries in the
accident.
“The suspect is regarded to be armed and dangerous and should not
be confronted,” Pojie said.
Police found a shotgun and five hunting rifles with ammunition as well
as suspected stolen items such as cameras, binoculars, clothing,
liquor, and cash.
Pojie said the stolen items and the vehicle were the property of a 70-
year-old Jansenville farmer, Owen Charles, who was killed in a farm
robbery on Sunday night. His wife was critically injured. - Sapa
