The suspects drove through the boom gate at the Mooi Toll Plaza and sped off. At Riversdale in Mooi River, three men alighted from their vehicle whilst shooting at police officers. The suspect&#8217;s vehicle crashed into a wall of a home and police arrested two suspects aged 22 and 23. One of the suspects sustained a gunshot wound to the thigh.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the taxi, police found a pistol with two rounds of ammunition and a gas gun.
