Five suspected cash-in-transit robbers were apprehended this afternoon in Sundra following a high-speed police chase.
The suspects allegedly targeted a CIT vehicle in Bronkhorstspruit before fleeing along the R42 towards Delmas and then onto the N12 highway heading toward Johannesburg.
Their getaway vehicle overturned near the R50 off-ramp to Bapsfontein and Sundra, prompting the suspects to flee on foot through nearby maize fields.
A police helicopter was also used to trace the suspects.
While unconfirmed reports suggest gunfire may have been exchanged, police have not yet officially commented. A heavy police presence was observed at all three locations involved.
Police have also not yet confirmed how much money was stolen.
This is a developing story.
