2 killed, 2 arrested in shoot-out after foiled KZN cash-in-transit heist
Two suspected hijackers were shot dead and two others arrested last night in a dramatic police shoot-out following a foiled cash-in-transit robbery in the Sinyameni area in the Msinga policing area in KZN. Northern Natal News reports that at around 18:00 last night, police received a tip-off about an impending heist. A multi-disciplinary intelligence-led operation was swiftly launched, with officers deployed to patrol the identified hotspot. According to SAPS provincial spokesperson Brigadier Jay Naicker, officers spotted a Mercedes-Benz with four occupants matching the description provided in the intelligence. When they attempted to intercept the vehicle, the suspects opened fire. 'Police responded with tactical precision, returning fire. Two suspects were fatally wounded in the shoot-out, while the remaining two were arrested on the scene,' confirms Naicker. Police recovered two unlicensed firearms and a cache of ammunition at the scene. Preliminary investigations have revealed that one of the arrested suspects is a former employee of a private security company. The two surviving suspects, both in their 40s, have been charged with attempted murder and illegal possession of firearms and ammunition. They are expected to appear in the Msinga Magistrate's Court soon. 'The swift response and bravery of our officers prevented what could have been a major cash-in-transit robbery. Investigations into the broader criminal network are ongoing,' says Naicker. Breaking news at your fingertips… Follow Caxton Network News on Facebook and join our WhatsApp channel. Nuus wat saakmaak.

Coin-It scheme trio back in court again this month
Three members of the De Beer family (who formed the now-infamous Coin-It investment scheme) were back in court last week, only to have their case postponed to July 25. This is to allow the defence to file a further affidavit regarding their application for documents. Malcolm de Beer (54), Patricia de Beer (53) and Samantha de Beer (31) – all of Dundee – are charged with fraud (with the alternative charge of theft) to the amount of approximately R73.6 million. They are also charged with contravention of the Financial Advisory & Intermediary Services Act, the Banks Act, and money laundering. The trio are out on R50,000 bail. Coin-It promised starry-eyed investors riches that would lead them on their 'route to success'. While many who poured money into the scheme accrued riches beyond their wildest dreams, hundreds more lost their hard-earned money when the Dundee-based pyramid scheme came crashing down, leaving many distraught.
