Just after 18:00 on Friday, Ensure Security controllers positioned in the E2 KZN Operational Command Centre recieved multiple alerts for shooting in progress and explosions on the N2 in the vicinity of the Kwamashu Highway.
Multiple emergency service agencies responded to the scene on the south bound carriage way.
On arrival on scene the remains of an armored cash van lay littered accross the highway having been bombed with explosives.
Reports recieved indicate that as many as twelve heavily armed suspects intercepted the cash van, bringing it to a stop, before blowing it up and making off with an undisclosed amount of money.
Paramedics from ALS Paramedic Services responded to the scene and assessed the guards who suffered minor to moderate injuries only. They were taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital for further definitive care.
The roadway remained closed to allow the necessary investigations to take place.
