KASIBC_AUDIO
EKURHULENI, GAUTENG – A joint, intelligence-driven operation by the South African Police Service (SAPS) in Gauteng and the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD) has intercepted an alleged cash-in-transit (CIT) robbery gang before they could execute their criminal plans.
Acting on law enforcement intelligence, specialized units raided a suspected safe house in Daveyton on Wednesday evening.
Arsenal and Stolen Property Recovered
The tracking teams had been closely trailing the criminal syndicate, which is believed to be linked to a string of violent crimes across Gauteng.
Upon searching the Daveyton premises, law enforcement officers recovered:
7 High-Powered Rifles
1 Handgun/Pistol
Reflector Jackets (typically used for impersonation during hits)
1 Hijacked BMW X5
Although known members of the gang managed to evade immediate capture, police launched an intensive, overnight manhunt to trace and arrest the fleeing suspects.
SAPS Leadership Commends Joint Operation
Acting National Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Puleng Dimpane, praised the seamless coordination between SAPS and the EMPD for removing a massive illegal stockpile off the streets and averting potential bloodshed.
"This intelligence-driven operation is a clear indication that the SAPS remains resolute in its mission to combat cash-in-transit robberies and other serious and violent crimes. We have made significant inroads in dismantling CIT syndicates, and we will continue to deal decisivel
y with those who terrorise our communities and endanger the lives of innocent citizens." — Lt Gen Puleng Dimpane, Acting National Police Commissioner
Lt Gen Dimpane warned members of violent syndicates that law enforcement intelligence capabilities are continuing to improve and that police will pursue every lead to bring the gang members to justice.
Investigations into the safe house and linked criminal networks remain ongoing.
