Cash Heist in Bopalong

It rained bullets at a local filling station in Bopalong earlier this afternoon when armed robbers robbed a Fidelity cash vehicle.

At approximately 12h20 a Fidelity cash van stopped at the Shell Garage on the Golden Highway at Bopalong to collect cash. Shortly after they stopped, gunmen opened fire at the guards, injuring two.

One of the guards is in a critical, but stable condition after he was shot in the stomach and his partner in the arm. Paramedics stabilized them both on the scene and rushed them off to the MediVaal Hospital where they will receive specialized medical treatment.

It is not sure if the robbers got away with any money. The Vaal Rand Police will investigate the incident.

No one else was injured during this shoot-out.
