Crackdown on CIT heists leads to the arrests of 8 suspects

A project driven investigation by the Hawks’ National Bureau of Illegal Firearms Control and Priority Violent Crimes together with Crime Intelligence had led to the arrest of eight suspects allegedly linked to recent cash in transit heist cases in Katlehong and Meyerton.

The five suspects, Thandwangubazi Mvelase (35), Nokulunga Ntombela (33), Lungisa Mdlolo (35), Ntengazi Mdlolo (40) and Sandile Mhlungu (29) appeared at the Protea, Vereeniging and Nigel Magistrates’ Courts respectively on Friday 30 November 2018.

Unfortunately, the case against the other three suspects was provisionally withdrawn. The multidisciplinary team which comprised of the Gauteng Hawks, Crime Intelligence members from Kwazulu–Natal, Limpopo and Gauteng, the Mpumalanga Tracing Team and Gauteng Flying Squad commenced early Thursday morning, 29 November 2018, in Jabavu, Soweto.
