The newsworld is currently abuzz with reports of a hostage situation in Truworths at the Golden walk shopping Centre in Germiston.

It was reported that an unhappy client was holding Truworhts staff at gunpoint, and guards from a SBV money truck who had arrived just before the incident took place had gone to attempt to help resolve the situation. Reports of two Germiston SAPS members who were not in uniform reacted

to the hostage situation, where they were mistaken for robbers by the SBV guards. After the robbery alarm had been activated by the gaurds a shoot-out ensued where one plain clothed SAPS officers had been wounded.

It is being reported that the armed perpetrator responsible for the whole situation has now been arrested, and the situation is resolved.
