Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Armed robbers pounced at a Mukuru money transfer agent Chegutu branch housed at Zapalala Wholesale Friday and made off with at least US$17 000.<\/p>\n

Mukuru is a financial services company that helps people move money around Africa, through a variety of platforms with the goal to simplify the process of sending and receiving money across borders. It was launched in the mid-2000s.<\/p>\n

Acting provincial police spokesperson, Assistant Inspector Ian Kohwera confirmed the incident but referred questions to national police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi who is yet to give the details.<\/p>\n

Witnesses said the robbers attacked the money outlet on Friday morning.<\/p>\n

The unidentified men forced workers to lie on the ground after firing two shots in the air before vanishing in a getaway car.<\/p>\n

Back in October, police arrested a man in connection with the murder and robbery at N and R Supermarket and Mukuru booth at Rutenga Business Centre, Masvingo where they stole US$ 8 795, ZWL$ 21 460, ZAR 100 000 as well as three cellphones.<\/p>\n

The robberies were committed between 26 September and 6 October this year.<\/p>\n
