Suspected cash-in-transit robbers to appear in Verulam court
Three suspected cash-in-transit robbers are due to line up in the Verulam Magistrate's Court on Monday.
Hawks officials say the trio was nabbed in Phoenix at the weekend in a joint law enforcement operation.
They found among other things a police uniform in the group's possession.
"Police were conducting an investigation to solve cash-in-transit heist robbery that occurred at KwaMashu earlier this month, when they receive information of suspects who were driving in Phoenix in a Lexus," says Hawks spokesperson Bonnie Nxumalo.

"When the suspects were cornered, the police recovered a variety of properties which included undisclosed amount of cash, SAPS reflector jacket, police uniform with constable ranks, police musk and other properties."
CIT robbers struck three times in Durban in the space of a week this month.
Nxumalo says the suspects are aged between 37 and 51.
They are facing charges of possession of suspected stolen property, state property and ammunition.
"Two of the arrested suspects are out on parole on cash and transit cases and the investigation positively link them to other similar cases is continuing."
