Johannesburg - Police spokesperson Sphiwe Ndlovu says police have shot and killed a suspected bank robber and wounded another after a high-speed chase in Florida on the West Rand on Tuesday.
Ndlovu said seven armed men entered a bank in Goldman Street in Florida on Tuesday afternoon and forced open the safe.
"They also took money from the tellers and escaped in three vehicles."
Ndlovu said police chased after the men who fled in three vehicles.
He said one of the vehicle's stopped and a man pointed an AK-47 rifle at police.
They returned fire and killed the man.
Another man in the same vehicle was wounded in the leg and arrested.
The five others escaped with an unknown amount of money.
