Armed Robber Shot Dead In Gutu Shootout

An armed robber was last week gunned down by police officers during a robbery at Jerera Growth Point in Gutu District, Masvingo Province.

National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the incident which took place just after 2 AM on Friday.

He said four unknown suspects armed with an unidentified pistol, pick, wooden broom and a log stormed a home at Jerera and demanded cash at around 1.59 AM.

Asst Comm Nyathi said the robbers were given US$1 000, 400 rands, four cellphones and two inverters. He added:

The complainant made a quick report to Police and as the scene was being attended to, another report was received. Police swiftly attended the scene and met the quartet at the doorstep.

Police recovered all the stolen property except the two inverters.
