Nyathi told The Sunday News:<\/p>\n<p>The ZRP is investigating an armed robbery incident which occurred at a Women Empowerment Trust at 6th Floor, Fidelity Building, Bulawayo where two armed robbers pounced and got away with US$6 270 as well as R5 000. The company is also involved in money transfer. They also harassed customers who wanted to collect and deposit their money.<\/p>\n<p>He said police reacted swiftly to information and cordoned off the building with initial reports indicating that the robbers were still inside the building.<\/p>\n<p>Asst Comm Nyathi said on entering the building, the police realised that the robbers had already sneaked out when they got to the scene.<\/p>\n<p>Sources said police then looked at the closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage in the building, and observed the two suspected robbers in the act.<\/p>\n<p>The suspects reportedly fled in a white Honda Fit vehicle, and by the time security personnel in the building alerted the police, the suspects had escaped.<\/p>\n<p>The robbery comes barely days after armed robbers pounced on a CBZ bank outlet situated along the same street. Police said they were on the hunt for the suspects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
