“It is further alleged that the passengers in two vehicles, a white Ford bakkie and a silver VW Polo were involved in the shooting. At this stage, the details are sketchy,” the officer added.
Police found one unlicensed firearm with ammunition from one of the deceased persons at the scene. Preliminary investigations reportedly revealed that a recovered firearm was stolen in Beacon Bay three years ago. The names of the deceased persons will be withheld until family relatives identify their bodies.
