Bloemfontein police have arrested a 37-year-old suspect in connection with an attempted cash-in-transit robbery from August 2024.
The arrest was made in the Mangaung area on Monday, 02 February 2026, by the Hawks’ Serious Organised Crime Investigation (SOCI) unit, Crime Intelligence, and the Tactical Response Team.
The suspect is linked to an incident on 08 August 2024 along the road between Thaba Nchu and Bloemfontein. On that date, armed suspects in three vehicles—a blue Mercedes-Benz, a white Mercedes-Benz, and a white Toyota double cab—fired shots at a G4S armoured vehicle. No cash was taken, and the suspects fled.
The arrested suspect is expected to appear before the Botshabelo Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, 04 February 2026. Investigations are ongoing.
