Security company Safeguard Security has issued a security alert to customers warning them to avoid holding large sums of cash at home or at work. This follows an increase in incidents involving thefts of cash and a warning from police in Harare that there are criminals in possession of powerful explosives and heavy arms who are blasting open safes.
Robbers reportedly blasted open a safe in a shop in Chitungwiza recently.
In a message emailed to customers, Safeguard said police had urged it to put in place measures it thinks will deter criminals.
“If you are holding significant sums of cash at home or work, please give real thought to banking it now,” the message said.
As criminals become more daring, security companies are coming up with new and innovative ways to combat them.
A Safeguard spokesperson said there were numerous ways in which both businesses and individuals could safeguard their cash and property.
These included physical security solutions such as Xpanda security screens for doors and windows, security gates and fences, security guards, alarm systems connected to a rapid response service and closed circuit television (CCTV).
