Police have warned people to stay away from cash-in-transit (CIT) heist crime scenes following an incident near the N12 in south Joburg.
Citizens who take money from CIT crime scenes can also be arrested for defeating the ends of justice or theft.
According to reports, four bomb sounds were heard with gunshots fired that saw people from a nearby area run to the scene to pick up cash. “Police were on the lookout for suspects who travelled in a black Golf 8 GTI, a blue BMW X6, a white Mitsubishi Parejo, a black Range Rover and a white Toyota Fortuna,” she said.Last month, 19 suspects linked to a CIT gang were killed in a shootout with police in Limpopo, followed by another heist in Hoedspruit.
“Instead, new refreshed intelligence-led policing strategies are needed. For the CIT looters, the consequences can be massive, as they can be injured by unactivated explosives, caught in the crossfire, get hit by a stray bullet to eventually die at an CIT scene,” he said.They can also be arrested for defeating or obstructing the course of justice or for having committed theft.
