Two farmers from Uniondale were arrested on Wednesday night for allegedly shooting at protesters during Monday's protest action in town.
Spokesperson Captain Malcolm Pojie says initially two cases of attempted murder were opened following two separate shooting incidents from opposite sides of town.
It is alleged that the two farmers discharged their firearms in the direction of the protesters.
Pojie says in the one incident nobody was hurt but in the second incident, three people sustained minor injuries.
The farmers aged 48 and 49 were arrested after affidavits were obtained from witnesses.
Police also confiscated three firearms, a revolver, shotgun and a rifle, which will be sent for ballistic analysis and also collected shell casings from the scenes.
The two is scheduled to appear in the George magistrates court on charges of attempted murder, pointing of a firearm and the illegal discharge of a firearm within a municipal area.
