Ten people bombed an ATM in Tlhabane near Rustenburg on Thursday and fled with an undisclosed amount of money, North West police said.
When police arrived on the scene the group opened fire on them, said Brigadier Thulane Ngubane. They then fled in a white Nissan bakkie.
The bakkie was later found abandoned next to the Eskom offices in Tlhabane.
It had been reported stolen in Soweto on Wednesday.
The robbers were seen getting into a minibus with no number plates, said Ngubane.
No one was injured and no arrests had been made.

If politicians are looting through government tenders and not arrested. it is also your chance to loot through the bombing of the ATM what are you waiting for. i mean look at the level of unemployment. if i was not working i would easily join the bombing batalion in order to survive.politicians are busy fighting and killing each other for tenders instead of wasting more energy creating employment for the poor masses on the ground especialy the youth of this country ttshekReport Abuse

@maneater agree that Bheki should be brought back. He is the only police commissioner who dealt with the cash in transit hijackers and these ATM bombers. I guess its true it takes one criminal to catch another. Msholozi baba yehlisani omoya nibuyise uNdosi!Report Abuse

You see; it is easier to commit crime in this country today; because criminals have so much rights. If you know that when you are arrested; you will be convicted and if convicted you will either spend the rest of your life in jail or face a capital punishment; then we will here very little of these stories!!!Report Abuse
