 BREAKING A large stash of cash recovered at a house in Tsakane last night in an EMPD operation. It’s believed the money was stolen in a recent cash heist in Gauteng.

9:40 AM - May 22, 2018

A couple - a man and a woman - at the raided property told police that the money, reportedly 1.5 million rand ($120,000; £90,000), belonged to a guard for money-transit company SBV.

However, the company has denied the link.

Ekurhuleni police boss Wilfred Kgasago is quoted as saying that they were dealing with "a considerable amount of money but I cannot reveal the exact amount... it is probably being counted as we speak."

Media reports say that the recovered money could be from last week's daring heist in which gunmen shot and blew up vans transporting cash.

Mr Kgasago did not say if the cash was linked to that incident.

But he said that the couple at the raided property and two women had been arrested.
