Two security guards were seriously injured when a group of nine armed men assaulted them with hammers and took money from their cash van in Olifantsfontein, East Rand police said on Saturday.
Spokesperson Captain Jethro Mtshali said the men allegedly approached the SBV van at a stop street at 8am on Saturday, held the guards at gun point and assaulted them with hammers.
”They hit them all over their bodies and fled with an undisclosed amount of money.”
It was not known whether the guards had collected money or were on their way to deliver it, Mtshali said.
No arrests have been made and police are looking for the men who fled in a Toyota Corolla, a BMW and a Peugeot.. — Sapa
