A witness who was close by claimed to have seen a suspect who was carrying a bag jump into a Nissan truck which drove away. The complainant lost R181 500, US$5 000 and $4 700.

Insp Ncube said investigations were underway and appealed to members of the public with information that could lead to the arrest of the suspects to contact the police.

He urged members of the public to take extra care of their valuables and to desist from keeping large sums of money in their vehicles or homes as they were endangering their lives.
