A CHEF from a local leading hotel was stripped naked and thrown out of a moving vehicle driven by robbers along Golden Quarry Road in Mabelreign on Sunday.

Joel Kufakunesu (42), of Westlea, boarded a mushikashika Honda Fit at the Warren Park roundabout intending to go to work at around 9pm.

The car drove for about 200 metres and stopped to pick up an accomplice.

When they got to Belvedere, the driver again stopped and picked up his second accomplice, who sat next to Joel.

The driver then turned left into Golden Quarry Road.

One of the robbers pulled out a knife and ordered Joel to surrender all his valuables, which included a Samsung A37 cellphone and US$20.

The robbers then stripped him naked and pushed him out of the moving vehicle resulting in him sustaining some injuries.

Harare provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Luckmore Chakanza, confirmed the case and urged people to avoid boarding private vehicles.

He also advised companies to consider organising transport for their night duty workers.
