A Double Cash-in-Transit Heist Shakes Up the N4 Highway

A shocking series of events occurred on the N4 highway as two cash-in-transit heists took place within an hour of each other. The targeted armoured trucks were hit in quick succession, causing chaos for motorists and raising security concerns.

The First Heist

The first incident occurred on the N4 national highway near Watermeyer and Russouw Streets. The suspects managed to escape with an undisclosed sum of money, leaving two security guards injured. Emer-G-Med paramedics responded quickly and treated and stabilized the guards on the scene. The road remained closed for emergency services to clear the scene, and the South African Police Services arrived to conduct the necessary investigations.

The Second Heist

As motorists struggled to navigate the congestion caused by the first heist, another armoured truck was hit approximately an hour later. The second cash-in-transit heist and armoured vehicle bombing occurred on the N4 and R80 in the Rosslyn area. Emergency service agencies were in attendance, but information regarding the injuries of guards or bystanders and the stolen amount remains unclear.

Security Concerns

These back-to-back heists have raised alarm and highlighted the need for increased security in the region. The N4 highway has become a hotbed for such criminal activities, which pose a risk to other motorists and the general public.

Law Enforcement Response

The Limpopo Police have launched a manhunt to bring the perpetrators to justice and curb the rise in cash-in-transit heists. It is crucial for law enforcement agencies to collaborate and create a robust security plan to prevent such occurrences in the future.

Public Vigilance

The public must also remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities. The recent events on the N4 highway serve as a stark reminder that crime knows no boundaries, and everyone must play their part in ensuring the safety and security of the community at large.

Tackling the Problem

As authorities work tirelessly to apprehend those responsible, enhanced security measures and a collaborative effort between law enforcement agencies and the public will be necessary to tackle this growing problem and restore a sense of order in the region.

The double cash-in-transit heist on the N4 highway has shaken up the community and highlighted the need for increased security measures. It is essential to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to prevent further occurrences and ensure the safety of all.
