Two security guards were injured following a cash-in-transit heist on the N2 near Mdantsane.
At 8 pm on Tuesday, officials from the Department of Transport in the Eastern Cape alerted motorists of an active crime scene with all roleplayers on scene.

WO Nkohli says the exact circumstances surrounding the incident are unknown and the Hawks have now taken over the investigation.
