Six men have been arrested in connection with an alleged cash-in-transit (CIT) robbery in Burgersfort, Limpopo.
“It is reported that shortly after 6.30pm on Monday, an unknown number of suspects stole an undisclosed amount of money from security guards after they allegedly used explosives to bombard the armored vehicle,” the police spokeswoman said, Cabbage Brenda Muridili.
An intelligence-driven operation led police to Polokwane, Mokopane and Lebowakgomo, where six suspects were arrested at their hideouts.
“The police confiscated five vehicles at the scene, four of which are suspected to have been stolen from their owners, while the fifth belongs to one of the suspects. Five unlicensed firearms and ammunition were also seized, as well as an undisclosed amount of money, ”Muridili said.
National Police Commissioner General Khehla Sitole praised the team for the “swift” apprehension of the suspects.
“We will continue to be vigilant and intensify specific operations to counter CIT thefts in the run-up to the holiday season,” he said.
