  "account": "On Monday, September 28, 2026, three suspected cash-in-transit (CIT) robbers were fatally wounded and a fourth suspect was arrested following a shootout with police on the R80 highway in Tshwane, according to South African police sources. The Gauteng police spokesperson, Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi, reported that an AK-47 rifle and a 9mm pistol had been recovered during the incident. Police attempted to stop a white Hyundai H1 on the highway using blue lights, but the occupants allegedly opened fire on the officers. In response, the police engaged in a shootout, resulting in the fatal wounding of three suspects. One suspect, believed to be part of the same team, was traveling in a Toyota Avanza and was subsequently arrested. He was found in possession of a 9mm pistol. Police spokesperson Nevhuhulwi stated that the recovered firearms will undergo ballistic testing to determine if they are linked to other criminal activities.",
