Three suspected armed robbers have been killed in a shootout with police in Newlands West in Durban, while two other suspects fled into the bushes.
KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Paul Magwaza says officers were patrolling in the area on Tuesday after the owner of a tavern in the Honeyrich area was held up at gunpoint by five men as he was closing up.
The robbers fled with cellphones, alcohol and an amount of money.
