Civilians were caught in the cross fire during a heist in Phoenix on Thursday. Reaction Unit South Africa reported that at least four people had been shot and injured, one critically during the incident.

Armed robbers carrying hand guns and AK 47 rifles opened fire on a cash in transit vehicle and robbed a supermarket.

Shoppers were injured when private security company guards and robbers opened fire. Unfortunately the suspects fled in a Nissan X Trail and VW Polo with an undisclosed amount of cash, a bulletproof vest and a firearm.
