Police search for CIT robbers

Police spokesperson Brenda Muridili says the suspects’ car rammed into the cash van near Hammanskraal.

"As a result, the vehicles rolled and during the process, three suspects, all armed with rifles got out their vehicle and approached the armed vehicle where the suspects allegedly used explosives to bomb the armed vehicles and fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of money.

"The guards were injured and taken to hospital."
