News24 has reliably learnt that one of the seven men arrested after the cash-in-transit heist in Boksburg, in the East Rand is a police officer.
"It's confirmed he is a cop," a reliable police source told News24 on Thursday evening.
The officer, whose identity is known to News24, cannot be named until he has been officially charged. He was apparently part of a sector team in Sundra, Mpumalanga.
Police spokesperson Captain Mavela Masondo could not immediately confirm that one of the suspects was an officer. The Independent Police Investigative Directorate's Moses Dlamini told News24 that they would not know until the matter was reported.
The incident happened on Atlas road in Boksburg on Thursday morning.
Masondo said at the time that the robbers travelled in three different cars.
"They shot at the two G4S vans and then there was an exchange of fire between them and the security officers. Two security officers were shot in the process," Masondo said.
One was shot in the leg and the other sustained minor injuries to the head.
