ZRP redflags rampant armed robberies at schools

The Zimbabwe republic police has raised concern over a series of robberies that occurred at three schools in Harare and Goromonzi where armed gangs pounced on security officials and made off with thousands of dollars including electronic gadgets.

According to the police, the suspects, who are still at large, used pistols, machetes, iron bars and explosives when they raided Kuwadzana 8 Primary School, Budiriro 1 High School and Goromonzi High School last week.

“In one of the cases which occurred at Kuwadzana 8 primary school, Harare on 21st September 2023, three unknown suspects attacked two security guards who were on duty at the school before tying their hands with shoe laces,” police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said in a statement.
