Eyewitnesses explain to Martin what happened at this morning's CIT heist
On Thursday morning, a CIT vehicle was robbed on Atlas Road and a few eyewitnesses shared their experiences with Martin and the team.
It has been a scary few months in South Africa due to the spate of cash-in-transit heists. This morning, a heist occurred in Johannesburg just off Atlas road in Boksburg.
This goes against Gauteng Community Safety MEC Sizakele Nkosi-Malobane who said in a recent press conference that there has been a decrease in the number of cash-in-transit heists in the province.
