A suspected armed robber has been shot dead during a foiled cash-in-transit heist in Randburg in the north of Johannesburg.
Paramedics responded to a shoot-out between the suspects and armed security guards on the corners of Kent Avenue and Grove Street.
Netcare 911 spokesperson Tebogo Magoro says, “On arrival they found law enforcement surrounding the area and a helicopter overhead searching for the suspects. Shots were fired between the two parties leaving one suspect with fatal injuries.”
“The armed robbers abandoned the vehicles they were travelling in close proximity to the scene, leaving the deceased suspect in one of the cars before hijacking another vehicle to flee the scene. The driver of the hijacked vehicle was female and thankfully not injured. Multiple emergency services were on scene and there was a strong police presence,” adds Mogoro.
