Two men arrested for PE gang shootings


Members of the Provincial Gang Investigation Unit have arrested two people for separate cases of murder and attempted murder in Port Elizabeth.

Police spokesperson, Colonel Priscilla Naidu, says the first arrest was arrested after Gang Unit members on their way to court received information that a wanted suspect was travelling in a car which had just passed them in the opposite direction.

Naidu said the members immediately made a U-turn and tactically stopped the vehicle.

She says a 22-year-old man wanted for a murder in Gelvandale was arrested.

Naidu says the Visible Gang Intervention Team also arrested a 23-year-old man on a charge of attempted murder following a shooting in Gelvandale in February.

They will both appear in court soon.
