“It’s like they want to get robbed”: Cash in transit heist has peeps debating
Pictures of the aftermath of yet another cash-in-transit heist are circulating on the internet, with many peeps convinced it’s definitely time for South Africa to go cashless, reported Briefly News.
According to Twitter user, @Abramjee the incident took place near Carltonville in Gauteng. Looking at the images shared, many social media sleuths are convinced a damaged black Mercedez Benz was used as a decoy when it collided with the money van.
Others really want cash to be taken off the roads for motorists safety, suggesting helicopters be used to transport the money in future.
