Media Statement Four suspected cash in transit robbers were fatally wounded during a shootout with police following a cash in transit robbery along the Nasrec Road in Soweto, Johannesburg on Friday afternoon. Reports indicate that the driver of the cash in transit vehicle was driving along Nasrec Road with his crew member when they suddenly found themselves under gun fire from the suspects.

The Johannesburg Flying Squad members received a complaint about a cash in transit in progress and swiftly responded. The officers spotted a white BMW with four occupants, a grey Nissan Navarra also with four occupants and a white Toyota Fortuner with three occupants. The suspects reportedly shot at the police and a shootout ensued. Four suspects were shot and were declared dead at the scene. One suspect was apprehended.
