Mpumalanga – Two suspects, aged 37 and 40, were arrested during an attempted robbery at a liquor outlet, which resulted in a shootout between the suspects and SAPS members on 17 June 2025 in Leslie. During the incident, a 38-year-old Police Constable was shot and wounded. Five suspects managed to evade arrest during the crossfire, fleeing the scene and abandoning a white BMW 3 Series with a false registration number, as well as a white Ford Focus, which was reportedly stolen in Bronkhorstspruit (Gauteng Province) in March 2025. Both vehicles were seized and taken to Leslie SAPS for further investigation. The two arrested suspects are expected to appear in the Leslie Periodical Court on Friday, 20 June 2025.
