Suspected gang behind Mkhuze cash heist in court
Six suspected cash-in-transit robbers, aged between 36 and 48, will line up before a magistrate on Thursday in Ubombo in northern KwaZulu-Natal.
They are believed to be the gang that ambushed a cash van on the N2 earlier this week in Mkhuze.
An undisclosed amount of money was taken.
KZN Hawks spokesperson Simphiwe Mhlongo says the heist happened on Monday.
“It is alleged that a cash van was travelling on the N2 near Mkhuze when it was ambushed by unknown suspects.
"They knocked it off the road and a group of suspects allegedly approached it and fired shots at the security guards, injuring one of them.
"They robbed them of their service pistols and used explosives to blow the back of the van.
"In the early hours of Tuesday morning, the six suspects were arrested at Esikhaleni area."
