Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Six unidentified armed robbers pounced on a house in Rifle Range, Chegutu around 2 AM on Saturday, 18 November, and robbed the occupants of more than US$22 000 in cash.<\/p>\n

Armed robberies are arguably on the rise as businesspeople keep cash in their homes as banks are considered risky due to the Government\u2019s knee-jerk policy announcements.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) said that robbers, who were armed with machetes, attacked a security guard who was on duty and took his cash and cellphone before forcibly gaining entry into the house.<\/p>\n

They then attacked two occupants before seizing US$22 380 which was in the bedroom. Police said:<\/p>\n

Police in Chegutu are investigating a case of robbery which occurred at a house in Rifle Range, Chegutu on 18\/11\/23 at around 0200 hours.<\/p>\n

Six unidentified male suspects who were putting on balaclavas and armed with machetes attacked a security guard who was on duty, tied his hands with a rope and stole US$20 cash and a cell phone.<\/p>\n

The suspects gained entry into the house and attacked two occupants before stealing US$22 380 cash which was in the victims\u2019 bedroom, motor vehicle keys for a Toyota GD6, Toyota Land Cruiser and Chevrolet Trailblazer among other valuables.<\/p>\n

Police have appealed for anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of the suspects to report at any nearest Police Station.<\/p>\n
