A few videos circulated in the media earlier today of enforcement officials shooting at the tyres of a vehicle at an intersection in Cape Town. Intelligence Bureau SA has since shared more insights on this incident. We quote from their page:

“Montague Gardens, Cape Town – Suspect failed to stop for CPT Metro Officials in a fully branded vehicle yesterday, the suspects were blocked in by the officials but the suspect then drove into the state vehicle.
