Two former Fidelity employees who allegedly gave inside information that led to a cash in transit (CIT) theft in Tshwane in October 2019 were arrested on Friday.
The two suspects were linked to the CIT theft that took place at the Batho shopping center in Soshanguve through intelligence received and investigated by the Hawks.
Hawks spokesman Capt. Ndivhuwo Mulamu said the suspects, aged 30 and 39, allegedly provided crucial information on CIT vehicle movements while working for Fidelity.
The insider information was said to have led to several CIT thefts in Gauteng, according to law enforcement.
“The couple was positively related to the alleged armed robbery and subsequently arrested on Friday,” Mulamu said.
“The investigation team seized a firearm and ammunition for further investigation.”
The suspects are expected to make their first appearance at the Soshanguve Regional Court on Monday.
