Security guard killed in cash-in-transit

ALS Paramedics spokesperson, Garrith Jamieson, said they were alerted to the scene just after 9am on Tuesday morning.

“We arrived on scene to find police had cordoned off the area. Paramedics were shown through to an armoured van that was found lying on its side, at the entrance of a private property

“Unfortunately, one male believed to be in his 30s, sustained fatal injuries and there was nothing that paramedics could do for him and he was declared deceased at the scene

“Another security officer was critically injured and was stabilised on scene before he was airlifted to hospital for the urgent further care.

“A third guard was moderately injured and was treated at the scene,” Jamieson said.

KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda, said the scene was still active and police were collating information.
