The officers said that when they gained access to the suspects property, they were attacked by a pit bull. The suspect then emerged with three more dogs and allegedly instructed them to attack the officers.

After using a stun grenade against the dogs, which had little effect, they opened fire on the suspect who appeared to be armed. Upon inspection of the suspects body, the gun turned out to be a toy.

According to the Daily Sun, drugs and drug paraphernalia were found on the scene including R470 in cash.

News24 reported that the Tactical Response Teams were deployed to the suspects house after they were tipped off about an alleged drug operation.
