BREAKING: Cash In Transit Heist – OR Tambo Airport – Injuries – It’s All Here

Like a scene out of a heist movie, a band of crooks hit a cash-in-transit vehicle as it left the cargo area of OR Tambo International airport.

South African airports are becoming the epi-centre of drama and crime these days, and after the little debacle at Lanseria, OR Tambo International in Johannesburg has been the scene of a new crime.

A bunch of opportunistic crooks hit a crash-in-transit vehicle as it left the cargo area of the airport, ploughing their car into the CIT vehicle.

Mofokeng said after the vehicle was brought to a halt due to the collision, an unknown number of armed men ambushed the vehicle and took an undisclosed amount of money.

No arrests have been made, which is a bummer, but on the bright side, no security personal lost their lives in the incident.

The three security guards were injured and taken to hospital.

Check out the full story on the Citizen.
