Police caught the Vumbunu brothers last Saturday after hunting them for months. Abraham and Elijah Temayi became famous as the Terror Twins after stealing four million dollars from Ecobank last year. South African officers worked with Zimbabwe police to grab these dangerous criminals. The arrest happened on July 5 and shocked people who thought the case had died. Officials are bringing them back to Zimbabwe to face charges.
The half-brothers grew up together in Mzilikazi suburb and always stayed close. Their family practiced polygamy and four relatives allegedly committed crimes over the years. Abraham had just finished serving 14 years behind bars when he rejoined his brother for the bank job. The robbery happened just two weeks after his release from prison. Police say the family has been causing trouble since the 1990s.
Six armed men attacked security guards carrying cash from the bank on October 3 last year. Witnesses watched the robbers jump from a Ford Ranger and grab money boxes like action movie stars. The gang overpowered Safeguard security workers and escaped down 9th Avenue fast. People said the guards never had a chance against the weapons. The whole thing lasted just seconds.
Police suspect the brothers pulled off other major crimes around Zimbabwe. They may have robbed Mukuru money services and stolen gold from How Mine. The Terror Twins also allegedly committed carjackings and home invasions across Bulawayo. Their criminal network operated across borders for years before this capture.
