A cash-in-transit vehicle was attacked and bombed on Millward Road, Maraisburg, west of Johannesburg, at about 6.30am on Monday. Police confirmed that the case will be investigated by the Hawks.

Police spokesperson Col Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi said preliminary information indicates that about 10 suspects, all reportedly wearing balaclavas and gloves, were involved in the attack.

“The suspects allegedly used an old yellow Nissan bakkie as a ramming vehicle, while another black unidentified vehicle was occupied by suspects who fired shots at the cash vehicle,” she said.

The suspects reportedly used several vehicles, including a red/orange Suzuki Jimny, to flee the scene.

Nevhuhulwi said no injuries have yet been reported, and it has not yet been confirmed whether any cash was taken during the attack.
