Limpopo police hunting for cash-in-transit gang
The police in Limpopo have launched a manhunt for a gang of heavily-armed suspects following a cash-in-transit heist on the Senotlelo-Mokgwaneng road outside Sekhukhune.
Police say the group, armed with guns and explosives, attacked the security guards on Monday.
The suspects fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of money.
"According to reports, a cash-in-transit van was travelling along the Senotlelo-Mokgwaneng road when it was attacked by a group of about ten armed suspects driving a charcoal VW Jetta 5 and double cab bakkie," says police spokesperson Malesela Ledwaba.
"The heavily armed suspects started to shoot at the cash van and the suspects allegedly forced the security officials out of the van and robbed them of three firearms as well as money.
"It appears one of the suspects was accidentally shot during the incident, however, was assisted by his accomplice to flee the scene," adds Ledwaba.
No security officer was injured during the incident.
