The incident occurred along Freedom Road next to a grocery store boxer, when the cash van was allegedly rammed by a Mercedes-Benz.
The driver and his two crew members were reportedly forced out of the vehicle at gunpoint and assaulted before the suspects detonated explosives on the van.
According to police and Jozi FM, the suspects fired several gunshots at the scene before fleeing in a silver-grey Volvo and a dark brown BMW X5.
Gauteng police spokesperson, Colonel Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi, confirmed the incident.
“A case of cash-in-transit robbery will be investigated after a cash van was bombed and an undisclosed amount of money was stolen by unknown suspects in Dobsonville. The suspects allegedly rammed the vehicle, forced the crew out at gunpoint and assaulted them before bombing the van,” said Nevhuhulwi.
She added that the suspects fled the scene in two vehicles after firing several shots.
The case will be investigated by the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI).

Police spokesperson Brigadier Hlulani Mashaba said the incident unfolded in the early hours of Saturday. Authorities rushed to the scene after receiving reports of gunfire. By the time officers arrived, the victim had already been rushed to a nearby hospital, having suffered multiple gunshot wounds.
Officers recovered several spent bullet casings, and the weapon believed to have been used in the shooting was also found at the scene. The suspect was immediately taken into custody and charged with attempted murder.
At this stage, police say they are still trying to determine the motive behind the shocking attack.
Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe, Limpopo’s provincial police commissioner, expressed deep concern, saying, “We cannot tolerate such senseless acts of violence, especially during funerals where families are supposed to find comfort and closure. We urge our communities to resolve conflicts peacefully.”
The suspect is expected to appear in court on Monday.
This disturbing incident isn’t the first of its kind. In 2022, a fight between alleged gang members turned deadly at a cemetery in Mpumalanga, leaving two young men dead. What began as a group heading to dig a grave ended in gunfire, highlighting the alarming trend of violence disrupting sacred moments of grief.
