Attempted CIT heist foiled

The attempt happened on the R533 near Graskop yesterday.

A Fidelity cash-in-transit vehicle was traveling from Bushbuckridge to Graskop yesterday when two vehicles allegedly pushed it off the road.

According to CEO of Khulani Fidelity Service Group, Wahl Bartmann, the suspects in the two vehicles started shooting at the Fidelity vehicle.

“They shot at the two front wheels of the vehicle as well as at the radiator. This is when our guys started to shoot back in defence,” Bartmann said.

“We have also deployed extra safety teams in the area,” Bartmann said.

The police were not available for comment.
