LIMPOPO police have launched a manhunt for a group of armed suspects who blew up safes at Bopedi Complex in Apel on Thursday, 9 February.
Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo said police were alerted to the incident at around 2am, and responded. And while on the look-out for suspects, they noticed a vehicle fitting the description.
“Suspects opened fire at the police, who retaliated. They managed to escape in two VW Polos, silver and blue, and a white Mercedes-Benz C-Class. It is alleged that a small amount of money was stolen,” he said in a statement.
Mojapelo added that a silver Audi A4 with false registration plates was recovered at the scene, along with a pistol and some of the stolen groceries.
