Another cash-in-transit van blown up and robbed in KZN
Two cash-in-transit robberies have taken place in a week, one in Cottonlands and one in Gingindlovu.
A cash-in-transit (CIT) van was blown up by armed robbers in Cottonlands, near Hazelmere in KZN, yesterday afternoon.
The brazen daylight attack saw robbers pull up next to the van in two cars, reportedly opening fire with high-calibre rifles.
When the van stopped on Vincent Dickenson Road, the robbers stole two guns from the drivers and set an explosive to get access to the cash.

According to Reaction Unit South Africa, which responded to reports of gunfire, the two cars made a quick escape with the loot.
Security and police are searching for a Toyota Hilux and Hyundai (unknown model).
The CIT robbery was the second in a week after a van was attacked on the R66 between eShowe and Gingindlovu last Wednesday evening.
The driver of that van was shot multiple times but survived the attack.
