According to the police Mashavave Vengesai (35) was robbed of cash and property valued at US$2 040 in an incident that occurred around 3am along Hamutyinei road near Lower Gweru turnoff in Gweru.
In a statement the police revealed that Vengesai was driving a motor vehicle home when he was suddenly blocked by a Black Toyota Wish motor vehicle which was occupied by three unknown men.
