According to police Spokesperson Nondumiso Paul, Police have arrested two men and fatally wounded another believed to be linked to cash- in-transit heist that occurred in Philippi East on Monday, when a cash van was robbed while outside a local grocery store in stock road.

The men got away in a white Ford Bantam Bakkie, which was later found by Police in a small business area in Philippi. One of the suspects were in the bakkie and helped Police to find the other suspect.

“Two of the men ran away and one man shot at the police, who fired back,” said Paul. She says that the three men have previously been involved in armed robberies.
