Three more men, all believed to be between the ages of 20 and 50, did not sustain injuries.
Two of the men were traveling in the cash-in-transit van and two more men were in a security vehicle when shots were fired at them.
It is believed that the suspects involved in this incident fled the scene. Local authorities later arrived at the scene for further investigations.
