Robbers are targeting individuals who are violating the stay at home order realising that their victims may not get help immediately, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has said.<\/p>\n

Bulawayo police spokesperson Inspector Abednico Ncube has urged members of the public to take the lockdown seriously and focus on the fight against the coronavirus instead of gallivanting. He said:<\/p>\n

Whilst we are saying that it\u2019s a crime to loiter around, people are not heeding the call and some are seen wandering around the streets and bushes and become targets for robbers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Realising that there are few chances of their victims getting assistance from the public during the lockdown, robbers are on high alert to pounce on members of the public.<\/p>\n

We urge the public to take the lockdown seriously and focus on the fight against COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Insp Ncube said police are investigating a case of a woman who was robbed of a phone and $8 while walking with a five-year-old child in a bush in Mpopoma suburb.<\/p>\n

The woman was rescued by a passerby who effected a citizen arrest on the robber Nigel Rusike (18) and handed him over to the police.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
