Johannesburg police say three suspected robbers trying to flee from a crime scene at the Northgate Mall were killed in a shootout with police on Wednesday night.

The three suspected robbers who were traveling in separate cars were shot and killed following a high-speed car chase by the police, after they had allegedly robbed a restaurant in Randburg.

Police spokesperson Takalani Matumba said, the Randburg station police officers gave chase until the suspects reached Northgate in Honeydew, where the suspects started shooting at the police, who then returned fire shooting –  killing two of the suspects on the spot, while the third one died later on.
