The Durban police forensic team is currently on the scene of a cash-in-transit (CIT) heist that took place near Wingen Shopping Centre in Shallcross at about 6.30pm on Monday evening.
The bombing of the money truck rocked Olympia Street, sending people reportedly running for cover into the shopping centre as chaos broke out.
ALS Paramedics director Garrith Jamieson told The Citizen that two security guards have sustained moderate injuries and have been taken to the hospital.
According to him, the cash-in-transit robbers were armed and are believed to have fled the scene in a white Toyota Hilux.
No further details are available at this time. This is a developing story.
Several videos have surfaced online of the bombing and robbery:
