BULAWAYO- The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) are investigating an armed robbery that took place on 25 October 2025 at a home in Hillcrest, where three men made off with more than US$11,000 and other valuables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the police, the 35-year-old female complainant was in her house with her six children at around 8:20PM when three unidentified male suspects stormed into the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe suspects were armed with a pistol and an okapi knife. They reportedly demanded cellphones from the children in the sitting room before proceeding to the main bedroom where the woman was sleeping\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two of the suspects allegedly pointed a pistol at her neck, tied her hands, and demanded cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey took US$200 from under a laptop, US$140 and ZAR4,500 from a drawer, and US$60 from her purse\u201d, said the Deputy Press and Public Relations Officer, Assistant Inspector Thandekile Ndlovu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The suspects then demanded safe keys and managed to steal a further US$11,380. One of the robbers also took keys of an Audi vehicle before the gang fled the scene, jumping over the durawall and driving away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As this case unfolds, the public is advised to avoid keeping large sums of money at home and instead use banking facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe encourage members of the public to avoid keeping large sums of money at homes rather bank them\u201d, said Assistant Inspector Ndlovu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police are urging anyone with information to contact Hillside Police Station on 244422 or Bulawayo Operations on 2883930\/273547.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
