Armed robbers made off with R700Â 000 after holding up a cash-in-transit van north of Durban on Wednesday morning, police said.
Captain Shane Smith of the Serious and Violent Crimes Unit said they robbed the Coin Security van on the M4, between Umdloti and Sibaya Casino.
”The men, driving Toyota Corollas, fired shots at the van’s wheels, bringing it to a standstill,” Smith said. The men then pointed guns at the guards and forced them out of the van.
They then took several cash boxes containing an estimated R700Â 000 and one firearm before fleeing the scene.
No one was injured in the incident and police are investigating. — Sapa
