KwaZulu-Natal police have launched a manhunt for two people who allegedly disarmed three security guards during a cash-in-transit heist in Gingindlovu, on the north coast yesterday.

It is understood the guards were loading cash at an ATM at a local mall when they were attacked.

Police say the suspects held up the guards at gunpoint and demanded cash.

No shots were fired.

SAPS spokesperson Thembeka Mbele says the recent number of cash-in-transit heists is a cause for concern.

"A case of robbery has been opened at Gingindlovu SAPS. Police are still busy with their investigations."

Meanwhile, no arrests have been made following a heist in KwaMashu at the weekend. A guard was shot and hurt in that incident.
