A female police officer was injured in the leg during the shootout, said Sitole.
He praised the police fot their bravery.
He said, “I offer my highest praise to the all our colleagues that have once again put their lives on the line to bring hardened and selfish criminals to book.”
The police recovered four AK 47 riffles and BMW car. The police stated that the BMW was used in spate of robberies.
