The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has debunked viral social media claims that a portion of the US$4 million stolen in a Bulawayo bank robbery was found in Chitungwiza.
According to ZRP Commissioner Paul Nyathi, the allegations are false and should be dismissed.
The drama unfolded after locals on Tuesday forcibly entered the home of a businessman in Chitungwiza, stealing US$13,500 and damaging property.
The incident was sparked by misinformation spread on social media platforms.
Commissioner Nyathi warned the public, especially criminal elements, against abusing social media to engage in criminal activities.
He also urged the public to be cautious and avoid reacting to false social media messages.
The police are now investigating the theft of the US$13,500.
Meanwhile, the search for the US$4 million stolen in the Bulawayo bank robbery continues, with no arrests made yet.
