Two cash-in-transit heists, one in Gauteng and one in KZN, took place earlier today.

According to an article published by Krugersdorp News, police confirmed that two security guards were injured during a CIT heist in Chamdor in Krugersdorp on Gauteng’s West Rand earlier today.

At about 10:30, police were involved in a high-speed chase that saw four vehicles allegedly attempting to hijack a CIT van on Adcock Street near Leratong Hospital.

According to police communications officer Karen du Plessis, a bomb was set off and shots were fired.

“We suspect that at least 10 robbers were involved in the heist; two of the three security officers protecting the vehicle sustained minor injuries,” says Du Plessis.

The robbers fled from the scene.
