In a rapid police operation, Gauteng SAPS arrested five suspects, aged between 35 and 50, shortly after a cash-in-transit (CIT) robbery attempt in Ekangala, Tshwane on Wednesday, June 4, 2025.
🚔 Key Seizures and Charges
Officers recovered a getaway vehicle and over 100 rounds of ammunition at the scene. The suspects face a litany of serious charges, including CIT robbery, attempted murder, and possession of ammunition.
What’s alarming is that all five individuals were already out on bail for previous CIT robberies across Gauteng, Mpumalanga, and Limpopo—highlighting a dangerous pattern of repeat offending.
🔎 Ongoing Investigation and Court Appearance
Six accomplices remain at large as the police intensify efforts to track down all involved. The arrested suspects are scheduled to appear in the Magistrate’s Court on Monday, June 9, 2025.
Authorities have not ruled out more arrests as investigations deepen into the gang’s operations.
⚠️ Community and Law Enforcement Alert
This bold heist attempt and the swift arrests underscore the persistent threat posed by organized crime syndicates targeting cash transports in the region. Police urge the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity to help curb such violent crimes.
