There’s something about dashcam footage from a high-speed car chase that makes you feel as though you’re a part of the action.

Throw in some siren noises, gunfire, and suspects being taken down, and you have a Grade A car chase.

On Thursday morning, police were informed that a woman had been robbed at gunpoint in Zeekoe Road, Grassy Park.

The three suspects then hopped in her Toyota Fortuner and sped off, reports TimesLIVE:

“The vehicle’s tracker was activated and a high-speed chase followed when members of the Flying Squad spotted the vehicle,” said [police spokesperson Warrant Officer Joseph] Swartbooi.

Swartbooi said the driver of the SUV ignored calls to stop and the vehicle bumped into several other vehicles during the high-speed chase…

Video footage of the chase showed the SUV speeding through the suburb of Ottery while trying to evade the police.

Pretty riveting viewing on a Monday morning while sat at your desk, but definitely less so if you were one of the civilians caught up in the mix, with sirens wailing and vehicles swerving in and out of the traffic.

Swartbooi says the three suspects were found in possession of an imitation firearm, and are expected to appear in court on a charge of hijacking.
