ARMED ROBBERS ESCAPE WITH R500000

ARMED robbers escaped with R500000 after ramming their vehicle into a cash-in-transit security van in Lansdowne in Cape Town on Friday morning. Police spokesperson Jacques Wiese said the Transcash vehicle was on the way to make a cash delivery when a Ford Courier bakkie collided with the van in Induna Crescent at 8.15am. Three armed men approached the Transcash vehicle and forced the two security guards to open the rear doors. The robbers removed four cash boxes and drove off in a white Isuzu bakkie. The Ford Courier bakkie was left on the scene. No one was injured.
