WATCH: Chaos as people scramble for cash after CIT vehicle destroyed

Videos doing the rounds on social media this morning show the aftermath of a violent cash-in-transit robbery in Krugersdorp where an armoured vehicle was blown up, leaving cash scattered across the road.

Passers-by quickly waded into the carnage and started gathering up all the notes they could.

It appears the attack happened on Kagiso Avenue in Chamdor.

As well as the destroyed CIT vehicle, another vehicle can be seen burning on the scene.

Police forensics investigators arrived on the scene a short while later, they are investigating the circumstances surrounding the heist.

Footage showing the full heist indicates that the van was first impacted in a head-on collision by the Mercedes that was later set alight before the armed gang blew up the armed vehicle. Take a look at how it played out below.
