'the robbers gained entry to the area when the Coin security van which delivered the cash to the plane left the area'
Why? Shouldn't it have stayed until the aircraft had departed safely!!! This happened in 2002 at Virginia FAVG when at the end of the final sector they were off loading the money and they were attacked and live ammo was used. Nobody killed or injured. Granted, they were hit whilst security was there. But you find me a security guard on min wages who'll take a bullet for the company. This same operation had the same problems at Newcastle and to a lessor extent Ladysmith. Once the plane is loaded the security guys are off and the aircraft taxys out alone with millions of rands cash in the back.
