Four commuters who had boarded a Toyota Wish at Sakubva Swimming Pool Bus Stop headed towards Birchenough Bridge last week lost about US$6 000 cash and other valuables after one of the suspects produced a pistol and ordered them to surrender all cash and valuables.
Manicaland provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Norbert Muzondo confirmed the robbery and said the passengers, among them Nicholas Rukeanha, 52, of Chitungwiza, were asked to surrender cash and other valuables that included clothes, cellphones and a satchel.
“Rukeanha boarded a Toyota Wish at Sakubva Swimming Pool heading to Birchenough Bridge. The car had five passengers on board, excluding the driver.”
Insp Muzondo said one of the suspects drove the vehicle towards Zimunya Township and upon reaching a service station along the road, he observed that the road he wanted to use was closed.
“He returned to the main road and upon approaching Muradzikwa Turn-off, he drove towards Bauline Abattoir and stopped the vehicle. One of the passengers, who turned out to be an armed robber, ordered Rukeanha and other passengers to surrender all their possessions. He produced a CZ pistol and fired a warning shot.”
The victims reportedly surrendered cash amounting to US$6 000 and two cellphones and a satchel with various clothes, all valued at US$523 before they were forced out of the vehicle. The two suspects then drove off, according to Insp Muzondo.
