FIVE armed robbers raided a refrigeration firm in Harare and stole more than US$13,000 and R2,000 in cash.
Imperial Refrigeration Company is based in Southerton.
The five robbers were armed with knives.
The robbers jumped over a precast wall to gain entry.
One of them manhandled the security guard and tied his hands with shoe laces.
He threatened to stab another guard with a knife before tying his hands with shoe laces.
The two security guards were taken to the administration offices before the armed robbers broke the locks using iron bars and a bolt cutter. They used a grinder to force open the safe before stealing the money.
Harare provincial police spokesperson Inspector Luckmore Chakanza confirmed the case.
“Police are investigating a robbery case at a Refrigeration Company in Southerton involving more than US$13 000,” said Insp Chakanza.
