A cash-in-transit (CIT) van was bombed by robbers near the Midway Mall in Durban’s Newlands West on Friday. ALS Paramedics attended the scene and urged motorists to steer clear of the area.
No information is available yet on injuries from the incident.
This robbery follows recent crime statistics for 2025/2026, which show CIT robberies nationwide have decreased by 51%, according to the Cash-In-Transit Association. However, the association highlighted concerns that KwaZulu-Natal continues as an epicentre for these attacks. It noted rising intensity, especially along the N2 and M4 corridors, and a growing risk to civilians in the province.
