Another cash-in-transit van was bombed just 200 metres away from a police station in Cape Town, and all of it was caught on camera.
Cash-in-transit heists have seen a sharp rise in frequency across the country during the past year. So much so that the BBC is taking notice.
South African scientists are responsible for an ingenious method for fighting ATM bombing and cash-in-transit heists. It involves polyurethane foam, which hardens in a minute. Used with the ‘Pudu’ – a polyurethane foam dispensing unit – this hardening ability also makes it much harder for robbers to get away with our cash. Clever, hey?
