The cash-in-transit team that was robbed of US$2,5 million gave the six robbers a lift in Harare. Police said the team was travelling in a Toyota Hilux and picked up the gang at Westgate and Inkomo Turn-off.
On approaching Gwebi River Bridge lay-bye, the driver
stopped the vehicle after one of his colleagues asked empty his bowels. As soon
as the car stopped, one of the gang produced a pistol and fired a shot into the
air while his accomplices disarmed one of the security guards of his 303 rifle.
The suspects tied the security guards’ hands and legs
before driving the car to a nearby bush where they offloaded the money, which
was in seven cash boxes. The suspects loaded the boxes into their gateaway
Toyota vehicle, whose make and registration numbers are not yet known.
Three suspects have since been arrested.
