Gold Thieves Strike Zimbabwe Mines in Wave of Crime.
Armed robbers hit a mine in Filabusi last Friday night. Seven men with weapons stole gold-rich carbon worth $22,400. The gang used machetes and logs to attack three guards before breaking into the storage room.
Police Chief Paul Nyathi said the police want help finding the criminals. He asked people with tips to call their local police station.
This marks the second mine robbery in a week. Earlier, eight robbers took $36,000 worth of gold carbon from a Bindura mine. The group carried a rifle, stones, and logs. They hurt a guard and broke into the storage area. Police are still searching for these suspects.
The crime wave spread beyond mines. Robbers struck a bank at Kamunhu Shopping Centre in Mabvuku. Three masked men fired guns and grabbed $1,500 plus South African money. They drove away in a silver Toyota with no plates.
Thieves also hit a computer store in Harare's Belgravia area. Two men beat up a guard and stole 22 laptops from Shamwari Complex. Police need help finding these robbers.
These attacks show a pattern of armed gangs targeting businesses across Zimbabwe. The thieves pick places with valuable goods they can sell. They often hurt guards and use force to break in. Police work hard to catch them but need the public's help.
Anyone who knows something about these crimes should tell the police right away. The robberies hurt businesses and make workers feel unsafe. Police want to stop these gangs before they strike again.
