Bruce Moller was shot in the leg during a shootout with suspected Facebook marketplace robbers in Winterveld.

Two men, who were left bloodied and wounded after a dramatic shootout with a gang of Facebook Marketplace scammers, made a desperate 50km drive to hospital to save their own lives.

Bruce Moller and his friend, Leon Verne, of Johannesburg's East Rand, were lured into a trap on 7 November when they responded to an advert for a bakkie for sale in Winterveld, Pretoria.

The attack played out days before former Pretoria Rugby Club chairperson Jaco Basson was shot and killed.
