A routine shift for a bread delivery crew in Harare, turned awry after a gang of armed robbers pounced and escaped
with 500 loaves.
The bread is valued at roughly RTGS$3 000. According to
information at hand, the crew from Lobel’s Bakery was making deliveries at
Speciman Shopping Centre in Harare’s Glen Norah suburb on Tuesday.
An unmarked vehicle suddenly pulled up in front of their
van. Armed with pistols, the gang accosted the crew, which, in turn, tried to
put up a fight but was overpowered.
Lobel’s Bakery spokesperson Heritage Mhende would not be
drawn to comment, while Zimbabwe Republic Police national spokesperson
Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said investigations were in progress.
Zimbabwe is experiencing bread shortages, leaving consumers
at the mercy of illegal traders who charge exorbitant prices. Herald
