5 August 2021
Two members of the public were forced from their car by three men trying to evade police.
The hi-jacked car then struck another vehicle carrying a woman and two children.
Initial reports suggest a firearm was presented at the two people whose car was snatched.
Police have since located two firearms inside a vehicle that failed to stop prior to the car-jacking..
Inspector Joe Hunter say it was an incredibly volatile situation - the men's actions were reckless and dangerous - and it's fortunate no-one was seriously injured.
Three men are in custody.
