The Eastern Cape Provincial Commissioner Lieutenant General
\nNomthetheleli Mene and her management team applauded police who pounced on robbers
\nwho were allegedly involved in a cash-in-transit robbery on the N6 road between
\nStutterheim and East London on July 29<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spokesperson for the Department of Transport, Unathi Binqose
\nsaid on July 29, it was alleged that the robbers used explosives to bomb a cash
\nvan and access the money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that the road remained closed for approximately
\nseven hours as crime scene investigators and explosives experts combed the
\nscene for any clues that could lead to the arrest of the perpetrators of the
\ncrime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to police spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel
\nSiphokazi Mawisa, after the bombing incident, police swiftly responded to
\ninformation and proceeded to a house in Kom Location, Keiskamahoek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said that when they approached the house, the suspects
\nshot at police who then retaliated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA shootout ensued, and five suspects were fatally wounded.
\nThe police members were not injured during the shooting,\u201d said Mawisa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She further said that after following up on the investigation shortly after the shootout, police arrested three suspects aged between 44 and 46 years in
\nNxuba (formally Cradock).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe suspects are allegedly involved in the cash-in-transit
\nrobbery,\u201d said Mawisa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said that several rifles and magazines with ammunition,
\nexplosives, and an undisclosed amount of cash were confiscated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mawisa further said that the case is being investigated by
\nthe Directorate for Priority Crime and Investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mene appreciated the efforts of the police and their bravery
\nin ensuring that those who take part in robberies are followed and
\napprehended  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis sends a message to criminals that police will not
\nrepose until we stabilise robberies on cash in transit,\u201d said Mene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
