Two members of the elite forces who allegedly went on a one
night robbing spree armed with illegally attained AK47 rifles have applied for
bail at the High Court.
Timothy Tshuma (33) and brothers Petros (32) and Norest
Mubaiwa (29), a civilian are alleged to have robbed two bars in one night.
According to court papers, Tshuma is a member of the
Presidential Guard Brigade and Petros is in the One Commando Regiment.
The three are alleged to have robbed two bars in Bindura
and Chiweshe on February 17 after threatening their victims with AK47 rifles
while using a Toyota Noah as their getaway vehicle.
Prosecutors said on February 17, the three men armed with
AK 47 rifles, went to Chingwara Chidzamahosi Bar at Shopo Business Centre in
Chiweshe.
The three allegedly broke into the bar and held the shop
attendant Portia Muchadakuenda (34) at gun point and demanded cash.
Muchadakuenda is alleged to have escaped into the darkness
as the trio allegedly stole cash amounting to $580, cellphones and television
sets.
The trio then went to Manyangani Bar in Bindura at around
10pm and ordered revellers to lie on the ground.
The bar attendant Taurai Maorera allegedly resisted the
orders, resulting in one of the three robbers firing a shot, forcing Maorera to
co-operate and surrender the daily sales which amounted to $123. Standard
