Five armed robbers escaped with an undisclosed amount of cash and a security guard’s weapon after targeting a Fidelity cash-in-transit vehicle outside Liquor City in Brackenfell this morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The robbery occurred at around 11:40 when the suspects, traveling in two vehicles, struck as the security team was conducting their cash collection routine at the liquor store in Old Paarl Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nThe police are currently following up on all leads.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Brackenfell Station Commander Colonel Jakobus Marthinus confirmed that the robbers made off with both an undisclosed sum of money and the Fidelity guard’s firearm during the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
