“Paramedics arrived after SAPS had made the scene safe and found hundreds of members of the public looting money on the ground.”
Jamieson said the looters were quickly dispersed by SAPS and paramedics were shown to two security personnel who were in the vehicle at the time of the robbery.
“Paramedics assessed the two men and one of them had sustained minor to moderate injuries as a result of the explosion and he was treated by ALS Paramedics,” reported Jamieson.
