Two Hawks officers who were killed in shoot-outs with cash-in-transit heist suspects last week will be buried this week. Detective Sergeant Herbst died a few hours after he witnessed Detective Warrant Officer Grobler take her last breath next to him.
Detective Sergeant Wynand Herbst died a few hours after he witnessed Detective Warrant Officer Delen Grobler take her last breath next to him.
The suspects were later spotted at a service station in Coligny and this is where Herbst’s life ended.Three of the suspects were also shot dead.One message in particular, which Grobler , shared on July 21 2019, seems to have attracted a lot of attention. In a poster-like message bearing a police badge he wrote: “Every cop who puts this on [the badge] in the morning knows there’s a chance they might not come back at night. Let’s appreciate our cops.
“The suspects were confronted as they blew open the van. They retaliated and took off in different directions,” Mulaudzi said. “The chase went through the villages nearby until they reached Mahikeng driving over the bridge that leads into town. This is where bullets flew,” a source said. City Press also learnt that at least two people, a taxi passenger and a driver of another vehicle passing by, were caught in the crossfire and injured.
He said three were shot dead while two others were seriously injured during the gun battle at the fuel station.
