"A tracking vehicle in the area heard the sounds of gunshots and went to investigate, also coming under fire, striking the vehicle multiple times.”
He adds: "Fortunately the tracking officer escaped injury. It is unclear what the gunmen escaped with.
"The guard that was injured, was treated on scene and once stabilised was transported by ambulance to hospital for further care."
