Two security officers were injured in a cash-in-transit (CIT) heist on the R74 between Stanger and the N2 on Monday afternoon.
IPSS Medical Rescue responded to the scene after suspects opened fire on the CIT vehicle, injuring one officer with a gunshot wound. The attackers then used explosives to access an undisclosed amount of cash.
The second security officer sustained moderate injuries during the incident. Both officers were treated at the scene and transported to a medical facility under the care of IPSS Medical Rescue Advanced Life Support Paramedics.
The suspects fled the scene, and the R74 was temporarily closed between Stanger and the N2 to facilitate criminal investigations. Authorities are currently searching for the perpetrators.
