MAHLANYA – To the police it could be described as a major breakthrough but one officer should be thanking his ancestors for being alive.


This was after what could best be described as the timely intervention of ancestral spirits and bravery of a colleague who saved the life of the officer.
The incident then led to a dramatic arrest of four other men who were in the police most wanted list for aggravated burglary.  


The drama filled incident took place during broad day light on Thursday near Lobamba, along MR3 Public Road and congested Mahlanya Village respectively.


Patrolling


According to insiders, two police officers from Lobamba Police Station were patrolling around the area when they came across three men, one of whom was carrying a bag.
The officers’ instincts told them that something was amiss with the men and they stopped them with the intention of searching them.
Before the police car stopped, two of the men bolted leaving two of their accomplices behind and this gade the officers strong reason to believe the men were up to something.


Pistol


They quickly jumped out of the car and surrounded the man while ordering him not to move. The driver was carrying a pistol while his colleague was armed with an R4 rifle.
According to sources, as the officers drew closer to the man, the driver tucked his pistol in his pants as the police prepared to search him.
“Unexpectedly, the man quickly drew a loaded pistol from his pants, placed it on the chest of the officer who was carrying a rifle and pulled the trigger twice. However, the gun did not go off, supposedly because he forgot to trigger the safety pin.
