Looting is a crime that puts lives at risk. Every act of looting escalates a threat to security personnel, bystanders, and communities. Protect your community. Choose safety.  #CITASA #LootingIsACrime #CrimePrevention #SaferCommunities

Cash will not disappear but its role will evolve. Despite the growth of digital payments, cash will continue to coexist with electronic payments.

If you notice a cash-in-transit robbery in progress: Maintain a safe distance Do not confront the perpetrators Report the incident to the police Move to a safe location Do not record if it puts your life at risk Do not disturb the crime scene

Do not interfere with a cash-in-transit crime scene! Interference can put lives at risk and compromise investigations. #CITSafety

During outages or disruptions, cash provides a reliable backup for transactions. #CashMatters #CITASA #CashSafety #CITSafety

CITASA now has cooperation agreements in place with the European Security Transport Association (ESTA) & the Secure Cash & Transport Association (SCTA). All 3 organisations promote safety, standardisation, intelligence, and collaboration. @ESTACashEu

Looting is illegal. Looting of CIT crime scenes also threatens lives and undermines safety for everyone.

CIT robberies carry serious consequences.

Shifting CIT robbery trends in South Africa’s high-risk provinces: Gauteng recorded a 25% increase in 2025 compared to 2024, while the Eastern Cape declined by 60% and KwaZulu-Natal by 14%.

CIT crime scenes are dangerous.  Always prioritise safety and exercise extreme caution.

No matter how far you run or how well you hide, the long arm of justice will catch up with you.

Cash remains widely used across South Africa, especially in informal trade, rural areas and small businesses. It continues to play a critical role in financial inclusion and everyday transactions. #CashMatters

Being “Just a Bystander” Is Not a Defence! Appearing in videos or photos looting a crime scene can lead to arrest and prosecution.

Cash-in-Transit (CIT) operations are high-risk environments. Your safety comes first. Stay aware. Stay alert. Stay safe. #CITASA #CashInTransit #PublicSafety #StaySafe
