Residents of an informal settlement allegedly t0rched a police van and st0ned another vehicle in Chatsworth, Durban, on Thursday.
KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi condemn3d the @tt@ck when members of the eThekwini district task team were tracing wanted m_rd3r suspects in the settlement.
“When police officers were tracking and tracing the suspects on foot a group of residents t0rched a police vehicle and st0ned another.
“Community members complain about the lack of police resources, which is a genuine concern, but there are those who seek to cripple the police service so they can continue their reign of terror.
“Burn!ng and st0ning police vehicles is a serious crime and the team is already on the ground to find those behind this heinous act”, said Mkhwanazi.
Despite the damage to the vehicles, police managed to @rrest the two wanted suspects and seized two firearms and an air rifle.
They are expected to appear in court soon.
