Mpumalanga’s most wanted shot while resisting arrest
Mpumalanga’s most wanted man was shot and inured while attempting to resist an arrest. The 32-year-old man is expected to appear before Magistrate court on a string of charges including, house breakings and stabbing a police officer with a knife.
Provincial police spokesperson, Colonel Donald Mdhluli. “It is said that he tried his usual tricks by resisting and wrestling with police officers and threatening to stab them with a knife but all these efforts were futile.
“The suspect is believed to have been involved in various reported housebreaking incidents in Belfast that were carried out from 2020 until this year, ” SAID Mdhuli.
He was arrested after one of his victims alerted the police of his whereabouts.
“Members responded to the tip-off with the intention of executing a warrant of arrest issued against him. As he tried to attack the members with a knife, the men and women in blue reportedly fired some shots and in the process he sustained some injuries on his foot.
“It was during this period when he was finally subjected to an arrest, then was taken to hospital for medical treatment under police guard.”
“He is expected to appear in Belfast Magistrate’s Court soon. Police cannot rule out the possibility of adding more charges as the investigation continues,” said Mdhluli.
