Dashcam footage of a cash-in-transit (CIT) van crew under attack by robbers captures a terrifying and violent robbery in real-time. These types of heists target vans transporting large sums of money between banks and businesses, often involving armed criminals who plan their assault meticulously. The footage, which has surfaced online, provides a stark view of the dangers faced by CIT crews during these high-risk operations.
In the video, the CIT van is seen approaching a routine stop when the robbers, heavily armed and highly coordinated, close in on the vehicle. They strike quickly, firing at the van to force the crew into submission. The guards, trained for such attacks, immediately take cover inside the van and attempt to defend themselves, returning fire as they try to protect the money and maintain control of the situation.
The robbers utilize several tactics, including blocking the CIT van with getaway vehicles to prevent escape. This maneuver, combined with their heavy weaponry, illustrates their professional approach and the growing sophistication of these criminal gangs. The crew’s efforts to escape or call for help are complicated by the sheer number of attackers and the intensity of the assault.
Despite the chaos, the footage shows the crew’s resilience as they manage to fend off the robbers. Law enforcement eventually arrives, forcing the attackers to flee. While the heist is thwarted, the footage highlights the extreme danger and violence that CIT crews face, and it serves as a reminder of the increasing risks involved in transporting cash in a world where criminal gangs are becoming more organized and armed.
