SIX men armed with pistols and iron bars last Thursday pounced on a wholesaler at Murombedzi Growth Point in Zvimba and got away with over US$29 000.
Police in Mashonaland West have since launched a manhunt for the robbers.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) provincial spokesperson, Inspector Ian Kohwera, confirmed the incident which occurred in the early hours of the day.
The robbers are said to have overpowered a security guard on duty before proceeding to the manager’s house nearby.
“They broke into the house, beat up the manager and stole his cellphone,” he said.
“The suspects then forced the victim to his office, where they gained access to a safe and stole US$29 700 ,” he said.
