A suspect who allegedly injured himself while setting up explosives during a cash-in-transit CIT robbery in the Kranskop CBD in KwaZulu-Natal on Monday was found dead in an abandoned vehicle on Tuesday.
Police said the CIT vehicle was robbed of an undisclosed amount of money and three security guards were reportedly robbed of their firearms.
Provincial spokesperson Col Robert Netshiunda said four vehicles were also reportedly hijacked and used as getaway vehicles by the suspects. The suspects fired shots towards a police station during the robbery, however no police officers or members of the public were injured.
