The police have launched a manhunt following a Cash-in-Transit heist on N12 road between Wolmaranstad and Klerksdorp on Thursday morning. It is alleged that, a group of suspects travelling in four vehicles, rammed into a cash van that was enroute to Wolmaranstad.
The police national spokesperson, Brigadier Athlenda Mathe said, the incident took place at 7am in the morning and this caused the closure of N12 road. However, the road has since been opened for traffic.
“The suspects bombed the cash van and made off with an undisclosed amount of money. They are believed to have fled in the direction of Wolmaranstad in three vehicles, including a gold vehicle and two VW Polos.
“The suspects also made off with firearms belonging to the fidelity guards and two rifles have since been recovered. The communities’ assistance is required in this regard. The communities are warned that harbouring criminals is a criminal offence,” Mathe said.
