Cele says a probe will be launched into the scenes that unfolded outside the police station on Monday night. 

"I was very worried to see the community's response. I was worried with an understanding that the community was angry. If the community and the police fight - the people that benefit are criminals," Cele said. 

The minister also wrapped up a closed meeting with the station management at Chatsworth SAPS. Cele says police are now on the third suspect's tail.
