Money fell from the sky when a gang of armed robbers blew up an armoured security van to get at the £1.5million in cash locked inside.

Ten criminals in three cars forced the Cash Solutions vehicle off the road on the R71 near Gravelette, Limpopo, South Africa by dramatically shooting out the tyres.

They then attached explosives to the van then dragged the guards off to a safe distance and detonated the charges blowing the side and roof completely off the vehicle.

Such was the power of the explosion, parts of the van ended up at the top of nearby trees.

hope all the money was blown off

organized crime

.

The £1.5million rand raid saw tens of thousands of rands in 50 and 100 rand notes blowing in the breeze on the other side of a fence which was out of reach of the gang.

Part of the roof or side of the van was photographed wedged high up in a nearby tree.

It is not known if passing motorists helped themselves after the gang drove off and before the police could arrive and seal off the area to call in a forensics team.

The gang escaped with cash and firearms belonging to the security guards.

Limpopo Police spokesman Moatshe Ngoepe said the road would be closed for at least four hours while officers searched for clues to the gang that carried it out.

He said: 'There are about 10 men in three vehicles who shot at the van and blew the tyres out to make it veer off the road and then they blew it up with explosives.'

The gang escaped in two Mercedes Benz and a BMW with dozens of cash boxes.

The Provincial Tracking Team has been called in to try and track the gang who are believed to have struck a number of times in the region over the lastfew months.

I am sure the police arrived the scene quickly and some journalist took pictures.

If not, how do you expect people around not to quickly pick up all the cash - even the person taking pictures won't be taking pictures but struggling for cash.

God save us all...crime does not pay!

Well organized operation. Driving away with BM and Benz
