Authorities have confirmed that a security guard was shot and killed during a cash-in-transit heist in Dassenhoek near Pinetown earlier today.
A group of robbers are said to have approached a cash van with two security guards inside, opening fire on them.
Hawks KZN spokesperson Simphiwe Mhlongo says one guard was fatally wounded and died on the scene.
"They fired towards the security guards, fatally wounding the 39-year-old security guard and injuring one stand-by [guard]," he said.
The gang took an undisclosed amount of cash and fled the scene.
