ARMED robbers have hit Gweru and Shurugwi making off with over $8 000 in cash, a VW Golf vehicle and two rifles.

National police spokesperson Chief Superintendent Paul Nyathi said they were investigating a case in which a Shurugwi businessman lost $8 000, a vehicle and a rifle last week to three masked armed robbers.

He said the attackers raided Prince Farm Easter Mine in Shurugwi at night and robbed Mr David Russell (25) of his money, a rifle and a black VW Golf.

“I can confirm that three masked robbers, armed with rifles pounced on a Shurugwi businessman and they got away with $8 000 cash, a vehicle and a rifle,” he said.

Chief Supt Nyathi discouraged business people from keeping large sums of money in their houses or at business premises.
