People are being encouraged to report suspected firearm holders to the police to help curb armed robberies.
“The ZRP urges members of the public to report all suspected firearm holders to the police for verification of firearm licences and thwart incidences of robbery in communities,” said the police in a statement on Thursday.
“This follows a robbery incident which occurred at Dzivamupamba Village, Muzarabani, on August 30, 2021, where two unknown suspects armed with an unidentified riffle besieged villagers and stole property valued at US$4 827.
“We have recovered 41 spent bore bullet heads on the scene and investigations so far indicate that the suspects could be using a 12 Bore shotgun or a Mossberg shotgun.”
In a related matter, police recently launched a blitz on unregistered vehicles following an increase in armed robbery and rape cases across the country.
