Police in Gauteng have arrested a man who sustained injuries during the attempted cash-in-transit robbery in Thembisa on Wednesday morning.
Provincial police spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Mavela Masondo said preliminary investigation suggests that the cash-in-transit armoured vehicle was rammed by a Mercedes-Benz, and both vehicles caught fire.
The suspects fired shots at the security guards, injuring one of them, said Masondo.
Police responded swiftly, and the suspects fled the scene without taking any cash. One of the suspects was found on the scene and taken to the medical care centre after he sustained injuries. He is under police guard.
Soon after the incident, police officers from South African Police Service (SAPS) and Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department (EMPD) went searching for the suspects.
