Sasolburg - A police captain arrested in connection with a
cash-in-transit heist appeared in the Sasolburg Magistrate's Court on Tuesday,
the Hawks said.
Captain Paul Ramaloko said the 39-year-old crime intelligence
officer would be held in custody.
The matter was postponed to Thursday, when he would appear with four
other people, including a police sergeant.
The men are accused of robbing a cash-in-transit vehicle of at least R3
million in Vaalpark, Sasolburg in February.
The Coin Security vehicle was travelling from a depot in Naledi
Industrial Park when a Toyota Land Cruiser collided with it side-on at a stop
sign.
Two more cars arrived at the scene and three men got out and shot at the
security vehicle. They opened the doors and took the cash.
A security guard was grazed by a bullet in the shooting.
Police later arrested a police sergeant, a driver and two other
people. - Sapa
