Manhunt after ATM blasting, murder

A manhunt launched by Police on Friday for the at least 18 suspects responsible for an alleged robbery at a bank and the killing of a security guard at Twin City Complex in Burgersfort continues.
Provincial Police Spokesperson Moatshe Ngoepe said that it is reported that about 18 armed arrived at the complex with a silver grey Nissan Navara, silver Audi A4 and a white Volkswagen Golf 6. While some of the suspects stormed the building and instructing security officers to lie down, others closed off the R555 and R37 road next to the complex. Some of the suspects allegedly used grinders to cut open two Automatic Teller Machines (ATM) and an undisclosed amount of cash was stolen, according to Ngoepe.
During the shooting a security officer was fatally wounded. The Nissan Navara was found not far from the scene and blood stains in the interior as well as exterior, Ngoepe said.
No arrests have been made as yet and Police are urging anyone with information to contact the investigating officer Captain Boshomane on 079 894 5501 or the nearest Police station.
