As well as the destroyed CIT vehicle, another vehicle can be seen burning on the scene.

Police forensics investigators arrived on the scene a short while later, they are investigating the circumstances surrounding the heist.

Footage showing the full heist indicates that the van was first impacted in a head-on collision by the Mercedes that was later set alight before the armed gang blew up the armed vehicle. Take a look at how it played out below.
