Ngonidzashe Jongwe (36), Godknows Jongwe (23) Doit Chibwana
(19) and Simon Chibwana (26), all from Epworth, were arrested after the Honda
Fit mushikashika was involved in an accident.
They sustained serious injuries and were taken to a local
hospital under police guard.
The four kidnapped Stella Zenda (50) and her daughter,
Faith Shumba (26), who were intending to go to Mbare.
Stella and Faith boarded the mushikashika and the four men
forced them to surrender everything they had and to remove all their clothes
after assaulting them with a hammer and fists.
Stella and Faith surrendered all their belongings, which
included a travelling bag with various clothes, US$15, and their cellphones.
They tied the mother and daughter’s hands with their braas,
covered their faces with a cloth.
They drove to Waterfalls and later dumped them near Park
Town shopping centre.
Harare provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Luckmore
Chakanza, said the robbers were using counterfeit registration plates.
“Investigations were conducted and police received
information that there was an accident along Sixth Street in Mbare where the
vehicle had hit a tree after its front tyre burst.
“The description matched the complainants’ narrative and
the complainants accompanied police details to the scene. The complainants
positively identified the accused persons and all their property was recovered.
“The police observed that there were so many other stolen
items in the vehicle. The vehicle itself was also stolen,” said Insp Chakanza.
