Four suspects who had just committed a house robbery were shot and injured in a shootout with police, on Underwood Road in Pinetown, Tuesday afternoon. 

Police responded to a house robbery on Oxford Road at Paradise Valley, in Pinetown and as they approached the house, which was being robbed, police identified a white VW Polo which was driving in the opposite direction and immediately attempted to stop the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle ignored police's instructions and sped off. A high-speed chase ensued and on Underwood Road, the suspects opened fire towards police officers. Police returned fire and a shootout ensued. 

After the shootout, the suspects were found to have sustained gunshot wounds and were treated at the scene before being taken to hospital under police guard. Two firearms, a flat screen TV, jewellery, two high-end brand handbags and home appliances were found in the possession of the suspects.

A manhunt is underway for one suspect who narrowly escaped arrest. 

The suspects will appear in court when they are fit to do so.
