National Police Spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul
Nyathi confirmed the incident yesterday.
“Police in Chitungwiza are investigating an armed robbery
case which occurred on July 19, 2021 at about 7.30pm, where eight unknown men
who were armed with pistols stormed a house in Unit B, Seke, and attacked a
39-year-old woman and her daughter before stealing US$20 850, an HP laptop and
a Tecno cellphone,” he said.
“The assailants knocked the door which was opened by the
woman’s daughter and the robbers then stormed the house and fought with the
victims from whom they demanded cash and valuables.”
Asst Comm Nyathi said investigations were underway and
police suspected an inside job.
“We urge people not to keep huge sums of money in their
houses. Instead, they should bank money since there is the trading of multiple
currencies which makes it easy for people to make withdrawals in any form of
currency.” Herald
