Guards who sustained injuries when the cash-in-transit vehicle they were traveling in was attacked by robbers were taken to hospital on Friday.
“The guards were all taken to hospital for the injuries sustained when their vehicle rolled,” police spokesperson Colonel Brenda Muridili said.
This after a SBV cash-in-transit vehicle rolled and later bombed along the N1.

“The cash van was travelling on the N1 north near the Hammanskraal off-ramp,” Muridili said.
She explained that a vehicle was alleged to have driven into the armoured vehicle (AV).
“The impact caused the AV to roll.”
Three suspects armed with rifles were then said to have left their car and approached the AV.
“The suspects allegedly used explosives to bomb the AV and fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of money,” Muridili said.
