Mozambican police fatally shot four suspected “criminals” early Tuesday in the Costa do Sol area of Maputo city during a shootout, a corporation spokesman in the capital said.
“One of our patrol cars managed to identify the car of the criminals, signaled a stop and did not obey,” Leonel Muchina told reporters.
Muchina said police fatally shot four men after they opened fire during a pursuit.
“In the journal [à viatura e às vítimas]They appeared to be carrying AKMs and wire cutters,” with one of the individuals “wearing a hood” and the other wearing a mask, a police spokesman in Maputo said.
Leonel Muchina said the four men were members of a house robbery gang operating mainly in the Costa do Sol area, where they were killed.
“By the hour [da ocorrência]It was clear that these were criminals,” added Muchina.
