However, Mashaba said the Toyota vehicle continued to drive despite the damaged tyre.

“The suspects continued travelling until the driver lost control near a farm on Tshipise Road. The driver was apprehended, found in possession of a 9mm firearm, three magazines, and 50 live rounds of ammunition,” said Mashaba.

One passenger was later arrested and was found with another firearm, one magazine, and eight live rounds.

“The motive for the shooting is not yet known and no injuries were reported during the incident,” said Mashaba.

The arrested men are expected to appear before Musina Magistrate’s Court, to face charges of attempted murder and possession of illegal firearms and ammunition.

Meanwhile, acting provincial commissioner of police in Limpopo, Major General Samuel Manala has commended the alert officers for their “swift and decisive action in combating crime and ensuring public safety”.
