THE huge amount of money that was discovered in Ekurhuleni on Monday, was allegedly stolen by two Fidelity employees.
The Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department (EMPD) Tracing Unit arrested four people after a huge amount of money was discovered buried in a yard.
According to Fidelity CEO Wahl Bartmann two of its employees were caught, after they only handed in some of the bags at the depot.

In an interview with News24, Bartmann said they had been working closely with the South African Police Service on the case.
"We spotted them on the cameras and arrested them that same night. We have been working day and night and doing everything we can."
He said the money that was recovered was estimated to be about R1.6 million.
"How we knew that the money belonged to us, is the bags have barcodes on and that is how we linked them."
"We have our own advocate who will assist with the prosecution and the dockets."
EMPD spokesperson Wilfred Kgasago said they received information from a reliable source in Langaville Ext 8 in the Brakpan area.
Initially social media reports suggested that an amount of R1.5 million was found in the house.
