Two suspected carjackers held after police chase

At about 2350h last night, police say that taxi-driver Elvis Albert, 47 years, of ‘B’ Field, Sophia, was attacked and robbed of motor car HC 1720 by three men, two of whom were armed with handguns, at Cane View Avenue, South Ruimveldt.

Police say that information on the incident was communicated to all police patrols and the stolen motor vehicle was subsequently seen by ranks of a mobile police patrol. The ranks gave chase behind the vehicle which ran off the road at Cummings Lodge, ECD.

Two of the suspects were arrested, while the third managed to escape.  An unlicensed .38 revolver with one round was recovered.

The two men are in police custody assisting with the investigations, police say.
