The unexpected happened at the Carnival Mall
in Brakpan, east of Johannesburg, when armed robbers attacked a bullion van
during a cash-in-transit robbery on Tuesday.“They (the robbers) fled the scene in the Polo, taking 10 containers
with an undisclosed amount of cash,” Captain Joep Joubert of Gauteng
police said in a statement.
The incident
was reported to have happened when the security officers parked a cash van
behind the Dischem to load money.
“Four
security officers went inside and the driver stayed in the vehicle. A flashing
light in the vehicle warned the driver that the back door of the vehicle was
being tampered with,” Joubert said.
“He got out
of the vehicle and saw a white VW Polo stopped behind him.”
Two men were
allegedly taking money out of the vehicle. The driver fired several shots at
the men, who sped off. A third man ran away.
No arrests had been made
and no-one was injured.
