Another court appearance for the four Cash-in-transit suspects postponed.
Luck is not on the side of these four suspects as they are still in custody after robbing a CIT van on July 21.
WITBANK NEWS published an article about four suspects that were hunted down by both G4S security guards and the SAPS.
The article stated:
“The driver of the truck alleged he was on duty and stopped at Total garage in Mandela Drive and when his colleague came back with the cash he spotted an unknown man with a firearm in his hands grabbing his colleague and demanding the cash. He tried to fight back but the suspect threw him on the ground, it was then when the driver of the G4S van started to reverse in the hope that he could bump the armed robber and save his colleague. The suspect fired a gunshot into the air and took the canister of cash from the guard lying on the floor. Like always these guards first observe before they get trigger happy and suddenly saw the suspect with the canister rushing off in a Silver Polo Vivo. At the circle by the garage the G4S driver managed to drive into the get-away vehicle and forced the Polo with four suspects inside to drive into a barrier wall.”
On the way to the police van, one suspect is led by SAPS members after he was caught in a CIT heist on July 21.
The four suspects, namely Ndumiso Sibanyoni (24), Reginald Phakula (24), Mthokozisi Khosa (24) and Evans Sibanyoni (35) stood anxiously while the prosecutor read out the charges from robbery with aggravated circumstances to hijacking.
As the case was postponed to September 8, the suspects yet again stood in front of the prosecutor waiting to state their case but unfortunately for them the hearing was postponed to October 17.
They will stay in custody until their next court appearance.
