Probe into attempted murder of Sandringham teacher leads to 8 arrests
The Gauteng organised crime investigation (OCI) unit has arrested three suspects and five alleged accomplices in connection with an attack on a Johannesburg teacher. Capt Tintswalo Sibeko said the officers are investigating an attempted murder case opened in Sandringham on December 3, where a deputy principal at a local school was shot and wounded. They traced two suspects to Jeppe and one in Phumula near Vosloorus on Wednesday morning. A few hours later, five more suspects, in a Toyota Corolla, were apprehended on the M2 highway, near the Maritzburg on-ramp within the Jeppe policing precinct. They were allegedly about to commit an armed robbery. Police seized five handguns and ammunition. 'Three of the suspects have been linked to attempted murder while five have, for now, been charged with possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition,' Sibeko said.

Video: Would-be robber loses leg in failed Ekurhuleni cash-in-transit heist
In a daring armed robbery attempt in Phola Park Extension 5 in Thokoza, Ekurhuleni, the would-be robbers fled without stealing any cash. Kathorus Mail reports that the attempted heist occurred today, on the corner of Khumalo and Murubisi streets, where a silver BMW rammed into a Fidelity cash van. According to eyewitnesses, 10 men were involved in the attempted robbery, and they escaped the scene in three vehicles. However, preliminary investigations suggest that one of the men suffered a severe injury during the bombing of the van – the loss of his leg. The vehicle used to ram the cash van was abandoned at the scene. The police are investigating the attempted robbery and possible attempted murder. Captain Tintswalo Sibeko of the Gauteng SAPS reports that the investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to identify the men and determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
