Four men, who staged Hollywood movie-like stunts last Wednesday to pull off a P2 million daylight heist in Mogoditshane, appeared before the Broadhurst Magistrate's Court for attacking, overpowering and robbing a G4S security detail.

The quartet, Mothusi Alfred Motomela (42) of Mochudi, Thapelo Lekobe (38) of Mmadinare and two South African nationals working as taxi drivers, Mzwandile Mazibuko (25) and Ntholephi Elliot Ntshalintshali (29) attacked and robbed security guards and the police, who were escorting a G4S cash-in-transit vehicle at Turn Right Mall in Mogoditshane on Wednesday morning.

Then, the four men made off with P2,310,000 of which P2,110,000 was recovered during the quartet’s arrest. Two guns belonging to the police that the criminals had gotten away with after overpowering them were also recovered. A fifth suspect, who fled the scene upon confrontation with the police, is suspected to have gotten away with the missing P200,000.
