Lede wat die inligting opgevolg het, het die lede met die blitspatrollievoertuig probeer stop, maar hulle het weggejaag en hul vrag in ‘n suikerrietland gegooi. Daar is weer sonder sukses probeer om hulle te stop, waarna die opsporingspan na die voertuig se wiel geskiet het om dit tot stilstand te dwing.
‘n Konstabel is dadelik in hegtenis geneem. ‘n Sersant is vanoggend vasgetrek waar hy langs die pad geskuil het. Beide sal Maandag 21 Augustus in die Malelane- periodieke hof verskyn vir aanklagte van die onwettige besit van vuurwapens en ammunusie asook oortreding van die wet op plofstof. Meer klagtes kan bygevoeg word.
Die polisie-ondersoek duur voort. Daar word ook na die vlugtende lid gesoek. Daar is op ses gewere, twee pistole, ‘n sak plofstof, ‘n plofstofkabel en ‘n plofstofbattery beslag gelê.
