, Aggravated robbery increased significantly in South Africa over the last
decade. 1.1 Identify and discuss the three (3) types of robbers (without the
use of a diagram)
Certainly, let's delve deeper into three specific types of robberies
that have been of concern in South Africa:
1. Cash-in-Transit (CIT) Heists:
Description: CIT heists involve criminal attempts to intercept
and rob vehicles transporting cash between banks, retailers, or
other businesses. Perpetrators typically employ heavy
weaponry, explosives, and well-coordinated tactics to
overwhelm security personnel.
Characteristics: These robberies are often characterized by
swift and violent actions, with criminals using high-powered
firearms and sometimes even military-style tactics. The aim is
to disable security vehicles and gain access to the cash being
transported.
Impact: CIT heists not only pose a direct threat to the safety of
security personnel and the public but also have significant
economic implications. The frequency of these heists has led to
increased security measures and heightened awareness in the
transport of cash.
2. Carjackings:
Description: Carjackings involve forcibly taking possession of a
vehicle from its owner, often through the use of violence or the
threat of violence. These incidents can occur on the streets, in
parking lots, or at intersections.
Characteristics: Perpetrators may approach victims while they
are inside or outside their vehicles, sometimes using weapons
to intimidate or harm them. Stolen vehicles are typically used
for various criminal activities or may be sold on the black
market.
Impact: Carjackings not only result in the loss of personal
property but also contribute to a sense of insecurity among the

3. Home Invasions:
Description: Home invasions involve criminals forcibly entering
private residences with the intent to rob the occupants. These
