Western Cape SAPS management welcomes the swift arrest of five gang-affiliated male suspects following a shooting in Military Road, Steenberg, this afternoon.

The team responded to reports of a double murder at Military Road, where two males aged 23 and 37 were fatally wounded at about 12:30. They were informed that the suspects had fled in a red VW Polo. A high-speed chase ensued, and the suspects abandoned their motor vehicle in Kirstenhof before hijacking a white Toyota RunX. Shortly afterwards, they were apprehended. During a search of the vehicle, police recovered two assault rifles. Five male suspects aged 27, 28, 31, 32 and 40 were arrested.

Once charged, they will appear before the Wynberg Magistrates’ Court to face the charges against them.
