The South African Banking Risk Information Centre says robberies against people withdrawing large amounts of money are on the rise.

Criminals are believed to be working in groups, with some members acting as spotters in search of victims.

Crime Line’s Yusuf Abramjee says this year alone there have been almost 800 of these incidents across the country.

Abramjee added that people need to be more vigilant when withdrawing large amounts of money.
