The movie-style heist occurred barely five days after
another armed robbery at Liquor Supplies at Ascot Shopping Centre in Bulawayo
on Saturday which left a shop attendant dead.
Bulawayo provincial police spokesperson Inspector Abednico
Ncube said yesterday’s robbers allegedly intercepted a cash-in-transit vehicle
at Parklands Shopping Centre and got away with an undisclosed amount of money.
“We are aware that the robbery happened, but police are
still investigating the case,’’ Ncube said.
On Saturday, a woman identified as Thandolwenkosi Dube (22)
from Cowdray Park high-density suburb was shot twice in the head and died on
the spot after robbers raided the liquor outlet at Ascot Shopping Centre where
she worked as a cashier.
Incidents of armed robbery and machete gangs are on the
increase in Bulawayo, sparking fear among residents who are calling on the
police to increase patrols. Newsday
