The anti-gang unit has arrested a 42-year-old suspect in connection with the murder of a Cape Town police officer.
A 26-year-old constable was shot and killed in Grassy Park shortly before 6 pm on Thursday.
The officer and his partner had been dispatched in response to a tip about an armed suspect in the area.
An altercation with the suspect ensued, and the constable was fatally wounded in the chest.
The suspect fled, leaving his partner unharmed.
On Friday, police announced that the suspect was apprehended on Thursday night at a hideout in Ravensmead.
“The 9mm pistol he stole during the altercation with the police members was found in his possession and confiscated,” said provincial police spokesperson Col Andrè Traut.
“The circumstances surrounding the incident are being probed by Hawks investigators.
"The suspect’s court appearance is scheduled for Monday in Wynberg.”
