Police forensic and tactical units at the Baccleuch Interchange Thursday, where three suspected “Rolex gang” members were shot dead following a high-speed chase and shootout with Gauteng law enforcement.
Three suspects were shot and killed following a violent shoot-out with police at the Baccleuch Interchange on Thursday, after officers attempted to intercept vehicles linked to an alleged organised crime group.
Police spokesperson Colonel Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi said the operation was triggered by intelligence received about “a group of men driving in three separate vehicles around the malls and they are suspected to be involved with the ‘Rolex gang’.”
Gauteng law enforcement units, including the Tactical Response Team (TRT), moved swiftly after identifying one of the vehicles travelling along the N3.
“The Gauteng Tactical Response Team spotted one of the identified vehicles along N3. They attempted to stop the vehicle, which sped off, leading to a high-speed chase and shootout between suspects and the police,” Nevhuhulwi said.
