Armed thieves masquerading as police have carried out a robbery at Johannesburg’s international airport in South Africa.
The thieves are said to have driven into a restricted zone on Tuesday evening and taken containers of cash.
Estimates vary but reports suggest that millions of dollars in different currencies may have been stolen.
The company that operates OR Tambo Airport, the continent’s busiest, confirmed a robbery had taken place.
The BBC’s Milton Nkosi reports the Hawks, an elite police unit, declined to release details, but has said that a high level investigation by all law enforcement agencies is now under way.
The police have described the robbery as bearing the hallmarks of an inside job.
