Three guards were injured during a cash-in-transit heist in Brakpan this morning.
According to information received from the local SAPS, the attack took place at around 9am.
The cash-in-transit van was travelling along Van Dyk Road, near the Brakpan Benoni Airfield, when it was struck by a beige Mercedes-Benz.
