WESTERN CAPE – The South African Police Service in the Western Cape has launched an intensive investigation following the discovery of three bodies inside a silver VW Polo on the corners of Hillcrest Road and Park Way, Montclair, Lentegeur, on Wednesday morning at around 06:00.
The victims, two men and a woman, all in their twenties, sustained fatal gunshot wounds. Preliminary information suggests that the incident is gang-related. Detectives have been assigned to the case and are pursuing several leads in a bid to track down those responsible.
The Provincial Commissioner of the Western Cape, Lieutenant General (Advocate) Thembisile Patekile, has expressed strong condemnation of the senseless act of violence and reiterated the SAPS’ unwavering commitment to dismantling gangs and rooting out those who continue to terrorise communities. “Gangsterism has no place in our society. The SAPS will continue to exert pressure on these criminal networks until every individual involved in violent crimes is brought to justice,” said Lieutenant General Patekile.
Members of the public are urged to assist the police by sharing any information that could aid the investigation. Information can be shared anonymously via Crime Stop on 08600 10111 or through the MySAPS mobile application.
