Police in the Garden Route have launched a manhunt for several suspects who attempted to rob a cash-in-transit vehicle in the Kaaimans Pass.
Police spokesperson, Captain Malcolm Pojie says the attempted heist took place on Monday when a group of gunmen opened fire on the vehicle.
He said two Fidelity Security Services officers, who were traveling from Knysna to George, escaped with their lives.
Captain Pojie says the suspects, in a white Nissan double cab bakkie, fled when the vehicle didn't stop.
He said the bakkie was later found abandoned near Herold's Bay and taken in for forensic examination.
The attempted heist is being investigated by the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation's (DPCI) organised crime unit based in George.
