Three unidentified robbers overturned in a high speed chase
with Police who pursued them after they allegedly shot and robbed a Zaka
businessman.
The case which happened at around 4am on Sunday has been
reported under RBB 4026191. Sources told The Mirror that the gang which is still at
large was on a robbing spree when they stormed businessman Ashton Mutyoro’s
homestead at Zibhowa Business Centre under Chief Nhema. They called Mutyoro by
name and fired two shots at the complainant’s bedroom after accusing him of
snatching someone’s wife.
They broke the door to the dining and shot Munyoro on the
left thigh as he attempted to check on the disturbance. The robbers then stole
US$20, R600 and an unknown amount in bond notes before they escaped. The complainant
is admitted at Musiso Mission Hospital.
They drove away in a Honda Airwave and headed towards Zaka
along Jerera – Panganai Road where they were intercepted by Police details who
were already pursuing them from Jerera.
It is suspected that the vehicle now had one occupant and
he noticed a Police vehicle driving towards him at Chiredzi River Bridge. He
fired towards the Police before making a u-turn and overturned as he tried to
negotiate a turn into another road.
The suspect fled leaving his car on the scene and Police
managed to recover his phone plus some of the stolen money. Sources said that
the suspect’s wife phoned on the phone from Chiredzi and this is one of the
leads that the Police is pursuing. Masvingo Mirror
