Media Statement WESTERN CAPE – A Multidisciplinary team comprising of the Hawks, Crime Intelligence, Stellenbosch Visible Policing members and Stellenbosch detectives have on 27 October 2024 arrested Mandla Jack (42) on charges of robbery with aggravating circumstances (Cash in Transit robbery) after a warrant was issued against him. On Tuesday, 04 April 2024 Fidelity Cash Solution members were collecting cash at Total Garage in Stellenbosch. The crewman went inside to collect the cash. While exiting the garage, he was approached from behind by unknown males who pointed him with a gun. The suspects took his service pistol and 10 rounds of ammunition. He was further ordered to hand over the cash safe. At that stage, the contents of the Cross Pavement Carrier box was already deposited into the drop safe of the armoured vehicle hence the box was empty. The suspects then fled the crime scene in a white VW Polo which was fitted with false number plates. Investigation by the Hawks’ National Priority Violent Crime team led to the arrest. Jack was positively linked to the crime. Jack appeared on 28 October 2024 at the Stellenbosch Magistrates Court and the matter is postponed to 7 November 2024 for bail information. The accused is remanded in custody. Ends
