Four suspected bank robbers were shot dead and six injured by police following a bank robbery at Teba Bank.
The incident took place at City Deep, west of Johannesburg, on Monday.
An onlooker was also seriously wounded during the cross fire on the border of Dobsonville, raising the number of the injured to seven.
Independent Online quotes the Provincial police spokesperson Director Govindsamy Mariemuthoo as saying police followed up on information on the robbery and chased a white bakkie and a maroon Caravelle (minibus).
When the suspects realised the police were on their trail they opened fire and the police retaliated.
Polices confiscated an AK-47, an Uzzi sub machine gun and seven small pistols.
Johannesburg emergency services medics took the seven injured to hospital.
