A Mbombela traffic officer who allegedly assisted in a botched cash-in-transit heist last month was on Friday granted bail.
In August, the White River magistrate’s court refused Khanyisile Viola Nyalunga, 29, bail.
She is charged with conspiracy to commit robbery with aggravating circumstances, robbery with aggravating circumstances, attempted murder, possession of stolen property, possession of a firearm and possession of ammunition.
Her arrest follows an attempted cash-in-transit heist in July between Hazyview and White River where a Fidelity cash van was attacked and a shoot-out ensued between the suspects and guards.
It is alleged Nyalunga arranged a safe house where the suspects kept the firearms in preparation for the heist. Police investigations led to the arrest of the accused who was allegedly found in possession of two stolen vehicles parked in her yard.
