A farmer in Banket was on Friday night robbed of his car, money and valuables by eight men.
According to police, Simon Tarusarira (39) was asleep in his house at subdivision 3 of Verblyden, Dunfale Farm near the farming town when the robbery happened.
The robbers forcibly got into the house using a hammer which they used to break down a wall.
“The accused persons gained entrance into the house where they demanded the keys to a white Isuzu king cab (reg number AFE 6783),” said provincial police spokesperson, Margaret Chitove.
Mr Tarisarira was hit on the forehead with a stick before the robbers turned to the wife, Pamela Tarusarira (32) and pointed a knife on the neck demanding her to surrender all valuables to them.
She then took US$470, a P36 i-tel cellphone with sim card number 0779 326 559 and a Minelab Gold Monster 1 000 detector.
The complainant filed a report at ZRP Banket and officers attended the scene.
