South Africa: Metro cop among 23 arrested for cash-in-transit crimes


A female Tshwane metro police officer is among 23 people arrested this week for various crimes related to cash-in-transit heists, the SA Police Service said on Sunday.
"[On Friday], the team, acting on intelligence, arrested… a 32-year-old man and his girlfriend, for the May Boksburg [cash-in-transit] CIT robbery where two armoured vehicles were targeted," said police spokesperson Brigadier Vish Naidoo in a statement.
"The girlfriend, a Tshwane Metro Police Officer, is alleged to have been storing the weapons that were used during the attack of two CIT vehicles in Boksburg."
A rifle, magazine and several rounds of ammunition were recovered, and a Toyota Quantum, which was believed to be a cash purchase, was confiscated. Naidoo said that the metro cop's boyfriend is believed to be linked to several cash-in-transit robberies in the country.
