Three armed men robbed a security guard of one cash-box yesterday after an alleged cash-in transit heist in Kromboom Road, Ronderbosch East.

According to police a security vehicle stopped at the premises to pick up money. As the security guard returned he was approached by the suspects on foot.

“One of the suspects pistol whipped the security guard and took the cash box that was deactivated shortly after the incident”, says Police spokesperson Bernadine Steyn.

“The cash box was left on the scene as the suspects fled the scene in two separate getaway cars”, says Steyn.

She added that no shots were fired during the incident and all five suspects are still at large.

A case of armed robbery has been opened. Anyone with information can contact Crime Stop on 08600 10111.
