It's alleged a gang of six held up a store at the shopping centre earlier. 

An off-duty policeman, who was in the vicinity, saw the events unfold and confronted the gang.

Shots were fired as the suspects fled in their getaway car.

The police's Nqobile Gwala says officers gave chase and managed to make some arrests on the M13 highway.

"Police managed to apprehend two suspects believed to be in in their late 20s. Members are still busy at the scene trying to gather information. A case of business robbery will be opened for investigation," Gwala said.
