Authorities could not confirm if the video showing two masked gunmen firing near the Netreg train tracks are linked to an alleged extortion gang operating in the area.

The video surfaced after reports that the revival of the Central Line was being hindered by these gangs threatening contractors.

Bishop Lavis Community Policing Forum chairperson, Graham Lindhorst says that its unclear when the video had been taken.

Bonteheuwel ward councillor, Angus McKenzie meanwhile says that he is collaborating with the police and the passenger rail agency to get a new security plan in place.
