However, at the earlier incident on the N4 national highway in the vicinity of Watermeyer and Russouw Streets, it was reported that the suspects made off with an undisclosed amount of money in an unknown direction.

It is further reported that two guards were injured when Emer-G-Med paramedics responded to the scene to find the carcass of the armoured vehicle occupying the width of the roadway.

“Two security officers sustained moderate injuries and were treated and stabilized on scene before being taken to a nearby hospital for further care. Traffic in the area was severely affected as the roadway was closed to allow emergency services to clear the scene.

The South African Police Services were in attendance and will be conducting the necessary investigation accordingly,” the private ambulance service explained.
