Cash In Transit Heist

Two Coin Security members have been injured when suspects rammed their vehicle this afternoon in Atlas Road just after the R21 Off ramp in the direction of Boksburg.

According to bystanders on the scene, suspects used a Mercedez and a Double Cab Bakkie to crash into the vehicle from both sides. Fortunately the vehicle did not overturn and no one was injured after a gun battle ensued.

When paramedics arrived on the scene, they found one of the security members next to his vehicle with injuries. He was treated on the scene for his injuries and transported to the Aarwyp Hospital where he will receive further medical treatment. It has been mentioned that one of the security guards from Coin has allegedly been beaten up by the suspects.

Both of the guards have been treated on the scene. The Atlas Road have been blocked off whilst police conduct and investigation.

It is believed that the robbers fled with cash from the van and used the Double Cab Bakkie to flee the scene.
