The 27-year-old man, who had travelled from Rusape, was lured into a car where he was robbed.
“Police in Harare are investigating a robbery case, which occurred at corner Samora Machel Avenue and Sixth Street, in which a man (27) lost US$3 200 cash to an unknown forex dealer, who he met in a WhatsApp group,” national police spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi, said.
