Eyewitnesses explain to Martin what happened at this mornings CIT heist
This morning a CIT vehicle was robbed on Atlus road and a few eyewitnesses shared their experiences with Martin and the team.
It has been a scary few months in South Africa with cash-in-transit heists on the rise. This morning a heist occurred in Johannesburg just off Atlus road in Boksburg.
This goes against Gauteng Community Safety MEC Sizakele Nkosi-Malobane who said in a recent press conference that there has been a decrease in the number of cash-and-transit heists in the province.
