Two innocent bystanders were killed by stray bullets fired by an armed gang that pulled off a cash-in-transit heist in Ekhuruleni on Wednesday morning.
National Police spokesperson, Colonel Athlenda Mathe, said a third bystander was wounded and taken to hospital for treatment.
She said Gauteng police have mobilised resources to apprehend the group of heavily armed suspects following a Cash-In-Transit heist on Putfontein Road in Ekurhuleni.
“This incident has claimed the lives of two innocent male bystanders who were randomly shot at by the armed gangs. Another male bystander was also wounded and taken to a nearby hospital for medical care,” Mathe said.
She said police have already recovered three getaway vehicles which include a burnt-out gold BMW sedan, a silver sedan, and a white Audi A1.
Mathe said an undisclosed amount of money was taken during the robbery.
