Police in Gauteng have launched a manhunt to arrest a group of suspects linked to a cash-in-transit (CIT) heist on the golden highway, south of Johannesburg on February 2.
National media liaison officer, Lieutenant Colonel Amanda van Wyk said according to a preliminary report a group of armed suspects intercepted a cash van which was travelling on the golden highway early in the morning.
“The suspects then blew up the cash van and fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of money, a rifle and two pistols, which they took from the cash van’s guards. It is alleged the suspects fled the scene with a blue Audi and a white Toyota Hilux.
“The guards sustained injuries and were transported to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. Further investigations are still underway,” said Van Wyk.
Anyone with information that may assist with the investigation is urged to contact their nearest police station, SAPS Crime Stop on 08600 10111 or leave an anonymous tip-off on the MySAPS App.
