A 49-year-old man lost his car and valuables to two robbers along the Harare-Bulawayo highway on Tuesday.
The victim had given a lift to the suspects, who then robbed him of his Mazda Premacy vehicle and other valuables.
In a statement on Wednesday, police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said the suspects attacked the motorist before dumping him on the roadside.
“On April 26, 2022, police in Norton recorded a case of robbery where a man (49) lost a Mazda Premacy vehicle (ACY 5103), US$100 cash, a Wi-Fi router, Huawei Y5 cellphone and a DStv LNB to two unknown suspects at the 24 km-peg along Harare-Bulawayo road,” reads the statement.
“The complainant offered a lift to the duo who posed as genuine transport seekers destined for Norton at the Whitehouse Bus Stop.
