HEIST GANG ESCAPES WITH R2 EACH

A GANG of cash heist gangsters risked their lives for a mere R2 each after pension payout security guards foiled an ambush. The 10 heavily armed gangsters used three stolen vehicles to ambush a convoy of armoured vans belonging to Empilweni Pension Payout Services between Witbank and Siyabuswa, but the armoured van ferrying the money managed to escape. The furious gangsters then robbed one of the guards of R21,20 from his wallet. – African Eye News Service
