SOUTH AFRICA (REUTERS) - Eighteen suspected robbers were shot and killed during a shootout with police in South Africa's Limpopo province, the police said on Friday.
Police video showed officers walking near a cordoned off area, some wearing protective suits.
Speaking from the scene in Makhado in South Africa's northernmost province, national police commissioner Fannie Masemola said the suspects were planning a cash-in-transit (CIT) heist and were responsible for similar crimes in other provinces.
One police officer was injured in the shootout, which lasted about 90 minutes, he added.
