A cash-in-transit (CIT) truck was robbed of an undisclosed amount of money at Atteridgeville on Monday evening.

According to a witness at the scene, the incident happened at about 18:30.

The witness said when they got to the scene, the criminals had already stopped the CIT truck and set up explosives.

“When the explosion finally happened, we were lying flat on the floor because we didn’t want to get injured,” he said.
