A shooting incident in Pretoria has resulted in two active crime scenes in Brooklyn and the central business district (CBD), prompting a major police response and the arrest of five suspects.
According to authorities, the incident began with reports of gunfire, leading officers to respond to the Brooklyn area. As the situation unfolded, a second scene was identified in the CBD, suggesting the suspects may have moved between locations.
Police say the suspects attempted to evade arrest by hiding inside a Pep Home store, where they were reportedly found in possession of a rifle. Officers quickly surrounded the premises, securing the area and ensuring the safety of shoppers and employees inside the store.
Following a coordinated operation, all five suspects were taken into custody without further incident. Authorities have not yet confirmed whether anyone was injured during the shooting.
Investigators are now working to determine the motive behind the incident and whether the suspects are linked to other criminal activities. Both crime scenes remain under investigation as forensic teams gather evidence.
Police have urged members of the public who may have witnessed the घटन or have relevant information to come forward.
