Lowvelder reports that the KaNyamazane police are pursuit of suspects involved in a cash-in-transit (CIT) robbery near Emfuleni Park on Monday at about 09:30.

According to Mpumalanga police spokesperson Brigadier Selvy Mohlala, an armoured vehicle transporting cash was travelling along the Legogota Road. A white Mercedes-Benz, reportedly carrying the suspects, collided head-on with the CIT vehicle, forcing it to overturn. “The security guards then came under attack from a group of about 15 armed suspects, who started shooting randomly at the armed vehicle while instructing them to open the door. The security eventually opened the door. They were robbed of their firearms, including a rifle and a pistol. Explosives were detonated by the suspects to get to the cash in the van,” he reported. The suspects fled the scene in an unknown direction. The Mercedes-Benz was reportedly torched by the suspects before they fled. Two security guards sustained injuries after the van overturned. They are currently receiving medical treatment in hospital, but are in a good condition. No one has been arrested so far.
