Five alleged gang members who were captured on video randomly firing gunshots into the air at the KwaMashu hostel in Durban are scheduled to appear in the Ntuzuma Magistrate’s Court today. The video, which went viral on social media, led to their arrest last week.
Police apprehended the suspects in response to reports of an active armed robbery. During the arrest, officers recovered three firearms and a hijacked vehicle from the suspects, who range in age from 24 to 43. They are connected to a series of murders, hijackings, and robberies in the greater Durban area.
