20 hrs agoA dramatic cash-in-transit (CIT) robbery unfolded in Durban’s Newlands West, where armed criminals detonated explosives to ambush a security vehicle near a busy shopping area. The blast, which occurred close to Midway Mall, sent shockwaves through the community and forced emergency responders to urge motorists to avoid the scene. Authorities have yet to confirm whether there were injuries, but the sheer scale of the victims highlights the growing boldness of such crimes.
Despite a reported 51% decline in CIT robberies nationwide, KwaZulu-Natal remains a troubling hotspot. Experts warn that while incidents may be fewer, the intensity and sophistication of these victims are increasing. Criminals are targeting major routes like the N2 and M4, executing highly coordinated operations that place civilians at serious risk.
This latest incident underscores a worrying shift: fewer robberies, but far more dangerous ones. The use of explosives in public areas not only threatens security personnel but also ordinary people going about their daily lives. As law enforcement intensifies its response, communities are left grappling with fear and uncertainty over when and where the next strike might occur.
