Provincial police spokesperson, Brigadier Leonard Hlathi said the national office decides on how to control the CIT’s.”Talks surrounding heists are now centralised due to the high rate. However, it does not mean provincial police cannot comment in the media. The heists are being discussed nationally currently,” he said before referring us to the national police spokesperson.
Brigadier Vish Naidoo confirmed the incident. We are aware of a CIT vehicle that was attacked and robbed this morning. One security guard was injured in the hand and the suspects fled.”
