A suspect is in custody after the Gauteng highway patrol was alerted to an attempted armed robbery of a guest near a hotel in Sandton on Thursday afternoon.
The unit was joined by Johannesburg metro police and private security to trace the suspects, who were in a white Toyota Corolla. The car was sighted in Katherine Street with three occupants.
Police said the team attempted to stop the vehicle but it sped away and a chase ensued. With the team in pursuit, two suspects jumped out of the vehicle and fled on foot.
