A feared and long-wanted highway robber has been shot dead by police during a high-stakes security operation, bringing a violent criminal reign to an abrupt end.
According to police sources, the suspect—described as a notorious armed robber terrorising motorists—was gunned down after confronting officers during a pursuit along a major highway. The operation followed weeks of intelligence gathering and surveillance aimed at dismantling a robbery network responsible for multiple attacks on travellers.
Eyewitness accounts describe a tense scene as officers moved in to intercept the suspect, who allegedly resisted arrest, forcing police to respond with lethal force. No casualties were reported among law enforcement personnel.
The killing has been welcomed by many road users who say the robber’s activities had turned the stretch of highway into a danger zone, especially at night. Police have since assured the public that operations will continue until all criminal elements targeting highways are neutralised.
For now, commuters can breathe a sigh of relief as authorities declare a major breakthrough in the fight against highway crime.
