THREE CIT SUSPECTS FATALLY WOUNDED AFTER MASSIVE GUNFIGHT A joint operation involving the SAPS Investigation of Violent & Organised Crime – CIT Robberies, SAPS Gauteng Tactical Response Team (TRT), SAPS Gauteng Anti-Gang Unit, Gauteng Traffic Police Airwing, CAP Specialised Operations, Tracker Connect, Bidvest Protea Coin and IZI Africa Risk Department has resulted in three suspected cash-in-transit robbery suspects being fatally wounded and another suspect arrested. The operation followed intelligence received regarding a group of suspects planning to commit a cash-in-transit robbery in the Olivenhoutbosch area of Pretoria. Further intelligence gathering enabled law enforcement and security partners to identify the vehicles linked to the suspects. During the operation, the suspects unexpectedly withdrew from the area and travelled towards Hercules, north of Pretoria. Two suspect vehicles, a Hyundai H1 minibus and a Toyota Avanza, were identified travelling together. As the vehicles joined the R80 highway, the operational plan was activated to intercept and stop them. A shootout ensued between the suspects and members involved in the operation. The Hyundai H1 veered off the road and came to a standstill in a stormwater drain. Three suspects were fatally wounded during the exchange of gunfire. An AK-47 rifle and a handgun were recovered from the scene. The Toyota Avanza was also stopped, resulting in one suspect being contained and arrested. An unlicensed firearm and ammunition were recovered. Investigations are continuing, with the suspects being linked to multiple crimes allegedly committed in the province. #GrowingASaferGauteng
