Johannesburg - Police were involved in a shoot-out with a number of people believed to be robbing a house in Norwood on Wednesday, spokesperson Bongi Mdletshe said.
He said two policemen, conducting a routine patrol, tried to search a car that had aroused their suspicions when they came under fire.
"The officers exchanged fire with gunmen outside the car and a nearby house. It's alleged the suspects were robbing the house when the police arrived", said Mdletshe.
The gang ran away and the car they left behind was later linked to a robbery in Cleveland earlier in the day.
No was injured during the shooting.
