Spotlight on Cash-In-Transit heists in SA

According to the Cash-In-Transit Association of SA, 217 CIT robberies occurred nationally between January and August 2023.

On Friday four suspected cash-in-transit robbers were killed in a shootout with police at a house in KwaMashu in the north of Durban.

They are believed to have been involved in a number of cash-in-transit heists in the area, recently. Just yesterday robbers cornered and blew up yet another cash-in-transit vehicle along the N12 near Diepkloof, Soweto.

Yes, this guy knows his story. Cash in transit guys are not necessarily a gang but people who cooperate to plan out a crime and then each goes his way. There might be two or three friends

I simply wondered the other day. Do they reroute these everyday and sparatocally or are they stuck in a routine?

[yusufalli]

The problem is ANC, they dont have any plans for anything never mind power stations

[petermpati]

I suggest all security camponies including the state should use drone all the corners of south africa and inside and i saw in i utube, even the the inmates are taking parts of crime outside the jail with connection with warders

[CossamNcube-ug]

[johankruger]

The bigest problem is inside information how do they no witch fan to hit and witch fans have the most cash on bord most of thouse hijaccers are police and army personal thats the biggest problem

[FerderSBV]

I hope this guy is a better researcher than he is a speaker. This guy is saying nothing out of the ordinary. Infact year on year CIT heists is down. They have now rather again moved to ATM bombing and grinding which has wreaked havoc on atm footprint and consumers bear the brunt

[jeanlukwichi]

CASH IN TRANSIT BUSINESS SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE ARMY WHICH HAVE ENOUGH RESOURCES TO COMBAT AND PREVENT HEIST. WITH THAT, THE ARMY WILL BE ALSO MAKING SOME MONEY INSTEAD OF DOING NOTHING WHEN THERE IS NO WAR.

[InnocentJimu-nyym]

The army must have the way of recovering guns from individuals besides people will die every day

[sirdon]

The cops give to much information out, the media give to much info
