Cash-in-transit van bombed on N1 north

LIMPOPO – The said incident occurred late afternoon north of Louis Trichardt along the N1 near the R523 Waterpoort turnoff.  A female motorist who was in the area at the time of the incident reported two groups of people shooting at each other. “Motorists must avoid the area,” she said in a voice note on an emergency group.

According to reports a group of heavily armed men, travelling in three vehicles, forced the cash-in-transit vehicle off the road. The vehicle was reportedly bombed but it is not yet known whether the suspects got away with any money or if anyone was injured during the incident.

Review is still awaiting police confirmation.

One lane is currently closed and traffic is backed up for several kilometres in both directions.
