Incredible Footage Captures N4 Cash-In-Transit Heist [Video]

The Lowveld has seen two cash-in-transit heists in the past week, the second coming in with some hectic footage filmed by an onlooker.

Wow, what a scene.

On the N4 between Malalane and Mbombela (Nelspruit), a cash-in-transit heist went down, allegedly involving four vehicles: a black Mercedes, two BMWs, one grey and one black, and a white bakkie, reports Lowvelder.

And a nearby driver was able to capture it all on camera.

In the video below, you can see an estimated 10 suspects open fire at a Fidelity Security armoured bakkie. Then, out of nowhere, the van explodes and the men can be seen loading the cash

Check it:

One of the Fidelity guards was injured during the incident and their firearms taken.

Here’s what the van looked like after the incident:

According to the Lowvelder, another incident occurred in the area earlier this week. On the R537 between Sabie and Lydenburg:

[A] white Mercedes benz [sic] rammed the security vehicle which was driving towards Lydenburg, causing it to overturn. Another white Mercedes, a blue Ford Focus and an Audi and a Jeep Cherokee were used by the gang of suspects to ambush it.

This is the result:

Thanks, Andrew
