Cash-in-transit heist at Food Lovers Market, Hillfox

Robbers fled with a money box after a cash-in-transit heist at Food Lover’s Market, Hillfox, on the morning of 4 March.

According to Christo Neethling from DMS Security, they received a call about a stolen vehicle at Food Lover’s Market at 10am. Upon arrival they saw that a cash-in-transit heist was in progress. “The G4S vehicle had just pulled into the parking lot in front of the store. When the men got out of the vehicle to take the money boxes inside, the robbers pointed firearms at them, grabbed one of the boxes on the trolley and then jumped into their vehicles and sped away,” he said.

A car chase between the fleeing robbers and the police ensued, but no shots were fired and no injuries reported. Neethling is not sure if the suspects were arrested, as the last news he heard was that they were on CR Swart Drive in Wilro Park.

The Record contacted the spokespersons of both the Honeydew and Florida Police for comment. Although the incident was confirmed, they could not provide any further information.
