Five die in Hennenman cash-in-transit heist | News Article

Hennenman - Five suspects have been shot dead by police in a foiled cash-in-transit robbery that took place on the Hennenman road near Welkom in the Free State on Friday.

Hawks spokesperson, Paul Ramoloko, says in addition to the deceased suspects, six more have been wounded and a total of eight arrests have been made.
 
Ramoloko says more suspects are currently being pursued by the Hawks. He could not confirm how many are still on the run. Ramoloko says the robbery of the Protea Coin Group van took place just before noon, and the shootout followed shortly thereafter.
 
No police members were injured. Vehicles and firearms used by the robbers were confiscated.
