Dawn Park CIT robbers still at large
Police are appealing to members of the community to come forward with information.
The SAPS task team, which comprises Provincial Crime Scene, Bomb Disposal and Gauteng detectives, are still searching for the robbers involved in a cash-in-transit (CIT) heist in the vicinity of Dawn Park on December 30.
According to national police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe, the incident happened at 14:30.
“Investigations revealed that a cash van was driving along the R554 turning into the corner of Old Heidelberg and Central Park roads, heading to Dawn Park, when a blue Chrysler Voyager rammed the van at the back, forcing it off the road,” said Mathe.
An unknown number of suspects in the vehicle started shooting at the cash van and the security guards then exited their vehicle.
Two of the guards were robbed of their 9mm pistols and the suspects bombed the back of the van and made off with an undisclosed amount of money.
Mathe added one of the guards was injured during the incident and taken to hospital.
Investigations are underway.
Anyone with information can contact the Crime Stop number anonymously on 08600 10111 or send information via the MySAPS app.
