An intelligence-driven operation led by #SAPS Crime Intelligence, with the support of the Gauteng Highway Patrol, the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC), and the Local Criminal Record Centre (LCRC) Tshwane, resulted in the arrest of a 69-year-old suspect and the recovery of hijacked vehicles and suspected explosives in Silverton, Pretoria.
On Wednesday, 03/06 at approximately 06:30, Crime Intelligence received information about a possible cash-in-transit robbery allegedly being planned in the Pretoria area.
The information was operationalised, and members worked closely with Tshwane District Crime Intelligence as part of ongoing investigations into a criminal group suspected of planning cash-in-transit robberies across Gauteng.
Following further intelligence gathering, an operational team was deployed to a property in Silverton. Upon arrival, police searched the premises and recovered two vehicles, a Mercedes-Benz and a Toyota Fortuner, both fitted with false registration plates. Further investigation revealed that the Mercedes-Benz had been reported stolen in the Villieria policing precinct, while the Toyota Fortuner had been reported stolen in the Hartbeespoort policing area. During the search, members recovered a five-litre container filled with petrol inside the Mercedes-Benz. Police also searched a white Toyota Quantum parked on the premises, where a bag containing suspected explosives was discovered and seized for forensic analysis.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the recovered vehicles may have been used in several cash-in-transit robberies and attempted robberies across Gauteng, including an attempted cash-in-transit robbery in Silverton on 30 May 2026.
A 69-year-old suspect was arrested and is expected to appear in court soon on charges relating to the possession of suspected stolen motor vehicles and possession of suspected explosives. Additional charges may be added as investigations continue. ST #FightingCrime #TrioCrimes #PartnershipPolicing #PoliceVisibility](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HJ85S14XwAAySbO.jpg)

The #SAPS Provincial Commissioner of the Free State, Lieutenant General Solomon Lesia, has applauded a multidisciplinary team led by Crime Intelligence for the successful arrest of two wanted cash-in-transit (CIT) robbery suspects and the recovery of stolen money following a cross pavement robbery in Welkom.
The incident occurred at Cash and Carry in Welkom when security officers were collecting money from the store on Saturday, 23/05, at around 12:40.
The security guards were allegedly accosted by six armed suspects who forced them to lie down before ordering them to open the cash van. The suspects fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of money, three firearms belonging to the security officers, bulletproof vests and a hand radio.
Following the incident, Free State Crime Intelligence gathered information on the whereabouts of the suspects and mobilised members of the Tactical Response Team (TRT) and the Public Order Policing (POP) unit.
Police operationalised the information and traced the suspects to a house in Welkom at around 15:00. Upon arrival, a shootout ensued between police and the suspects. Some of the suspects managed to flee the scene, while two known CIT armed robbery suspects were arrested.
During the operation, police recovered an undisclosed amount of stolen money as well as other items linked to the robbery.
Lt Gen Solomon Lesia commended the multidisciplinary team for their swift response and intelligence-driven operation.
“These arrests demonstrate the importance of intelligence-led policing and coordinated operational responses. We commend all members involved for their bravery and commitment. Those suspects who managed to escape arrest are being pursued and it is only a matter of time before they are brought to justice,” said Lt Gen Lesia.
The two suspects are expected to appear before court soon on charges relating to armed robbery, attempted murder and possession of suspected stolen property. #FightingCrime ST](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HJERxLaWoAARGrV.jpg)

Cash is more than a payment method, it’s a lifeline for millions of South Africans.
Cash enables access, independence, and participation in the economy for those who may not have access to digital banking.
#CITASA #CashMatters #FinancialInclusion
Looting at a CIT crime scene is not only dangerous — it is a criminal offence.
Members of the public are urged to never participate in the theft or removal of cash or goods from crime scenes.
#CITASA #LootingIsACrime #PublicSafety #
Cash counts 💵
It works without electricity or internet, supports small and informal businesses, and keeps everyday transactions simple and private.
Justice may move at its own measured pace, but accountability is certain. Every crime leaves a trace, and every trace leads to consequence.

🚨 PUBLIC NOTICE 🚨
False and misleading content about Cash-In-Transit (CIT) incidents is circulating online. ⚠️
Not all videos or “breaking news” posts are real—always verify before sharing.
Help stop panic. Think before you share.
#StayAlert #StopMisinformation
CIT crime scenes are not a spectacle, they are high-risk environments.
Armed suspects, live ammunition, and unpredictable situations make these scenes extremely dangerous.
#CITASA #CrimePrevention #StayBackStaySafe #PublicSafety #SaferCommunities
Cash keeps everyday life within reach for everyone, especially those without access to banks or smartphones.
#CashMatters #FinancialInclusion
Looting is a crime that puts lives at risk.
Every act of looting escalates a threat to security personnel, bystanders, and communities.
Protect your community. Choose safety.
#CITASA #LootingIsACrime #CrimePrevention #SaferCommunities
Cash will not disappear but its role will evolve.
Despite the growth of digital payments, cash will continue to coexist with electronic payments.
