MEDIA STATEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DATE: 31 JULY 2026 JMPD OFFICERS APPREHEND THREE SUSPECTS FOLLOWING A SHOOTOUT IN LINDEN The Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) commends the swift and decisive action of three of our officers following a shooting incident that led to the arrest of three suspects linked to vehicle theft and signal jamming in the Boskruin and Linden areas. On Thursday, 30 July 2026, JMPD Region C officers were conducting routine visible policing when they received an alert from the Vuma Tracking Camera system regarding a suspicious vehicle operating in the Boskruin area, reportedly involved in vehicle theft and signal jamming. The officers tracked the vehicle's location and spotted it travelling along Malibongwe Drive. They monitored the vehicle until it pulled into a BP Service Station at the corner of Malibongwe Drive and Central Street in Linden. As the officers approached the vehicle, which was occupied by three adult males, the driver attempted to speed off. One of the passengers pointed a firearm at the officers, prompting them to discharge their firearms to neutralise the threat. The vehicle came to a stop shortly after the shooting. Two suspects sustained gunshot wounds, while a third suspect was apprehended unharmed at the scene. Emergency Medical Services were immediately dispatched to the location, and the two injured suspects were transported under police guard to Helen Joseph Hospital for medical treatment. The uninjured suspect was arrested and processed at the Linden Police Station. The vehicle used by the suspects has been seized and booked into the Aeroton SAPS vehicle pound for further forensic investigation. A formal case has been registered at the Linden Police Station. The JMPD remains committed to ensuring the safety of Johannesburg residents and tackling crime head-on through vigilant patrols and the effective integration of technology.
