Gauteng police are on the hunt for any leads that may result in the arrest of gunmen involved in the shooting of a scrapyard owner last week.
"The police from De Deur received a complaint of a shooting incident at the R 82 and R 557 Walkerville," police spokesperson Lieutenant-Colonel Mavela Masondo said in a statement.
He said that, when police arrived on the scene, the victim had already been hospitalised.
"Preliminary investigation revealed the victim was driving a white Toyota Land Cruiser when he was shot at by suspects who were driving in a silver grey Mercedes Benz," Masondo said.
CCTV footage of the incident shows the victim approaching a blocked-off intersection. The gunmen approach the slowing car, take aim, and fire several shots.

"Scary is an understatement. I couldn't believe my eyes," Andile Nene, an eyewitness, told News24.
He said it was like a scene out of an action film.
Nene added:
Police are investigating, and have opened an attempted murder case.
When News24 reached the victim's place of work for comment, they said the "current circumstances are too sensitive to comment".
