Yesterday a security vehicle responsible for the transit of cash was collecting a cash box from Caltex garage in Dolphin Square Somerset West. Upon returning to the vehicle with his collection, the security guard was approached by 3 armed men, who held him at gun point and took the cash box containing an undisclosed amount of money.

“The suspects then fled the scene in a white Toyota Hi-Lux vehicle. The security guards fired several shot at the suspects and we have reason to believe that one or more could be wounded,” said Superintendent Andre Traut

“We make an appeal to any persons who can shed light on the circumstances or is approached for medical assistance with regard to a gun shot wound, to phone 10111 or Crime Stop on
08600 101,” requests Traut
