THREE armed robbers on Tuesday raided Farmers Hub along Samora Machel Avenue in Harare and stole US$15,000.
They struck around 5pm.
The robbers gained entry into the premises shortly before closing time. They ordered nine workers to lie down and tied them using electric cables.
They force marched the director, ransacked all offices and opened two safes, where they found some money.
The robbers stole a CCTV recorder drive, which was mounted in the ceiling, and then fled, leaving the victims tied, lying on the floor.
Harare provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Luckmore Chakanza, confirmed the case.
“Police are investigating an armed robbery.
“They broke the safe from the boardroom using a grinder and broke the other safe in the accountant’s office and stole cash,” said Insp Chakanza.
Something is amiss here. A robery cannot be this simple in such an environment.
