Former cash-in-transit guard jailed for armed cash heist at mall in Tshwane: A former cash-in-transit guard has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for his role in a cash heist at Batho Plaza by an armed gang in Soshanguve, northern Pretoria.
Tebogo Abraham Leotlela, 49, was sentenced on Friday in the Soshanguve magistrate's court for his role in the robbery — committed in collusion with other security industry staff — on October 28 2019.“Leotlela was among a group of armed robbers who derailed Fidelity guards inside Batho Plaza in Soshanguve just after they had serviced a Capitec bank ATM cubicle. Follow-up investigation resulted in the arrest of Leotlela on October 30 2019.
He has been in jail ever since as his numerous bail attempts were successfully opposed,” said Hawks spokesperson Capt Lloyd Ramovha.“The solid investigation also ensured that Jan Mafolo, 32, Paul Patrick Sekhalelo, 42, both former Fidelity guards, Ernest Lesiba alias “Wire”, now deceased, and July Mkhatswa, 39, were also promptly arrested and charged.“Mafolo, Sekhalelo and Makhatswa's cases were finalised between February and March 2022.
