Durban – Two men have been arrested for allegedly organizing a theft of cash in transit in Northriding last week.
Hawks spokesman Captain Ndivhuwo Mulamu said the “robberies” took place on Monday and Thursday.
Mulami said Aaron Kgotso Matsotso (44), also known as “Terence,” allegedly left after his team went to a food establishment at the Bellairs Mall to collect money.
“Later, members of the Hawks headed to the crime scene where the same cash van was found, on fire, in Douglasdale.
An undisclosed amount of money was found in the back of the cash van after it was extinguished.
Matsotso was detained for questioning and later charged with theft of cash in transit, conspiracy to commit theft, perjury, intentional damage to property, possession of explosives and undermining the ends of justice, “Mulamu said.
Malumu added that Matsotso appeared before the Randburg Regional Court and is in custody.
The matter is postponed until November 11 for the formal application of the bond and further investigation.
Meanwhile, the Hawks, assisted by Criminal Intelligence, the Provincial Specific Crimes Team, Counterintelligence, K9, Bomb Disposal and Tactical Response, kept an eye on the second suspect who was positively linked to the same incident.
“He was arrested at his home in Dube, Soweto, in the early hours of Thursday.
The joint team managed to seize an undisclosed amount of money, two vehicles, laptops, and Fidelity’s uniform.
The 40-year-old is expected to appear in Randburg Regional Court on Monday facing similar charges with his co-defendants, “Mulamu said.
Investigations are still ongoing.
