Guards injured as robbers blow up cash-intransit van

Four security officers were injured in a cashin-transit van heist on the N4 in Gauteng yesterday.

Kyle van Reenen of Emer-G-Med said paramedics responded to the scene near Simon Vermooten Road and found “chaos”.

“Multiple security vehicles lay strewn across the roadway with the cash van having been blown up by suspects. The four security officers sustained moderate injuries and were treated and stabilised before being taken to a nearby hospital for further care.” Van Reenen said there were no fatalities.
