The N12 road between Wolmaraanstad and Klerksdorp is now open for traffic following its closure due to a CIT robbery yesterday.
Brigadier Athlenda Mathe said just after 07:00 yesterday morning a group of suspects travelling in four vehicles rammed into a cashvan that was en route to Wolmaranstad from Klerksdorp causing the cashvan to come to a standstill.
“They then proceeded to bomb the cashvan. The police have since launched a manhunt for the suspects who made off with an undisclosed amount of cash.
“The suspects are believed to have fled in the direction of Wolmaranstad in three vehicles including a gold vehicle and two VW Polo’s.
“The suspects also made off with firearms belonging to the fidelity guards, two rifles have since been recovered,” Mathe said.
The police requested the communities to assist them required in this regard.
“Communities are warned that harbouring criminals is a criminal offense,” Mathe.
