Yesterday afternoon at about 12:20am three men attempted to rob a cash vehicle at a garage in Main Road, Delft.
The security vehicle stopped at the garage to collect money. Three armed men approached the vehicle from different directions and allegedly took an firearm from one of the guards.
Several shots were fired by the suspects, which prompted one of the guards to retaliate by returning fire.
The suspects then fled the scene in a cream Honda Ballade, that was parked nearby.
Police Captain Joe Wilson reported that, nobody was injured during the incident and no money was taken.
