Cape Town - Two security guards were injured and three cash boxes were taken in a cash-in-transit heist in Cape Town on Monday, police said.
Captain Elliot Sinyangana said the incident happened on the N7 highway near Milnerton.
"A Mercedes Benz followed the security van and rammed into the van causing it to topple onto its side. Several cash boxes were flung out of the van and about six men from the Mercedes and a VW Polo managed to get away with three boxes containing an undisclosed amount of cash," he said.
Several other cash boxes were found in nearby homes where they were taken after the incident.
"The driver and passenger of the security van both sustained injuries and were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment," said Sinyangana.
