It is possible that the same people who carried out a heist in Pretoria on Tuesday struck again near Southgate on Wednesday.
“What is concerning is that we are noticing similarities or tactics that were employed in Tuesday’s heist in Pretoria where a Mercedes-Benz SUV rammed into the cash van causing it to come to a halt,” said Captain Mavela Masondo, of the Gauteng Provincial SAPS.
“Today’s incident, the same transpired where a Mercedes Benz vehicle rammed into the vehicle, guards were ordered out, disarmed, and the cash van and the vehicle that rammed into it bombed,” he said.
Captain Masondo would not confirm whether any cash was taken in the heist.
‘A multidisciplinary team is currently combing the scene of crime trying to establish whether money was taken from the cash van”
“We are on a manhunt for a group of suspects who fled the scene in a black Range Rover and white Nissan X-Trail. We are appealing to members of the public who may have information to come forward and assist investigations,” he said.
