Cash-in-transit robbers handed hefty jail sentences

The sentences should serve as a warning to criminals that committing crime guarantees lengthy jail time.
Three cash-in-transit robbers have been sentenced in the East London Regional Court to lengthy prison terms for a 2016 robbery at Capitec Bank in East London, the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) said on Saturday.
Zukile Vimbela, 41, Mfana Selby Gomba, 33, and Bulelani Luningo, 37 were sentenced on Friday, Hawks spokesperson Captain Anelisa Ngcakani said.
On the September 17, 2016 at about 11am, security guards from G4S security company were offloading cash from their vehicle into the bank when about six armed men confronted them with firearms and disarmed them. The men then stormed into Capitec Bank, forced staff and security guards into the bank vault, locked them inside the vault, and fled with about R1.6 million.

Swift action leads to arrest of three CIT robbers

National police commissioner General Khehla John Sitole has praised a multi-disciplinarySAPS team in Mamelodi West for the swift arrest of three cash-in-transit (CIT) robbers and the recovery of money and firearms.
National police spokesperson Brigadier Vishnu Naidoo said the arrested suspects are aged between 25 and 40.
He said the two armed men were arrested after they robbed two security guards of money boxes containing an undisclosed amount of cash at Denlyn Mall at around 11: 45.

However, the suspects’ getaway was short-lived thanks to the speedy response by the Mamelodi Intervention Task team supported by the local K9 unit and station members.
“The task team intercepted the first two suspects a few streets from the mall and thereafter a third suspect were arrested.”

Interesting, those cash boxes also seem too easy to circumvent and break open. There was that one case where the crims just poured water over a pavement carrier and it wouldn't activate. You think an outdoors devices would be water proof and fail safe.
