 Port Elizabeth police have arrested three suspects following a dramatic robbery and shoot-out in North End.

Police spokesperson, warrant officer Alwin Labans, says about nine men entered the Pier 14 shopping centre on Tuesday morning where they overpowered a security guard at Sterns Jewellers.

He says they took a handbag from one of the assistants, broke a glass counter and removed jewellery before fleeing on foot.

Labans says police, who were quickly on the scene, pursued the men into Lavinia and Green Streets where a shoot-out occurred.

One suspect was injured in the shoot-out

Six suspects remain at large.
