WATCH | Valuable evidence lost as community loots cash van after heist

Police spokesperson Col Brenda Muridili said 10 suspects in four vehicles ambushed and bombed the van in Spruitview on Friday afternoon.The gang fled the scene in three vehicles, with an undisclosed amount of money.“The act of communities looting the cash at a crime scene tampers with the preservation [thereof].

“Those who witness [such incidents] should refrain from stealing the scattered bank notes, as that constitutes a criminal offence. Valuable evidence has been lost,” Muridili said.
