Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia says an attack on police is an attack on the state.
Cachalia says police will not rest until Jabulani Moyo is arrested for allegedly killing two police officers .
The two officers were transporting Moyo, an awaiting trial prisoner from the Roodepoort Magistrates court to prison when they were ambushed in the Roodepoort CBD yesterday.
Their service pistols were stolen and Moyo was seen driving off in the officers unmarked vehicle, which was later found abandoned a few kilometres from the crime scene.
A multidisciplinary team has been deployed to hunt down Moyo.
