Manicaland police spokesperson Inspector Tavhiringwa Kakohwa confirmed the robbery yesterday.
He said Margaret Mutepfura’s wooden tuckshop at Mureremba Farm in Vumba was raided as she was asleep at around 2315 hours.
She was in the company of her cousin Good Bere, who had visited her on the day from Gosho village under Chief Zimunya.
Kakohwa said the pair was asleep when three unknown assailants forced their entry into the wooden cabin. The robbers were armed with machetes, while one of them had a revolver.
