Armed robbers raided a Sai Mart Supermarket (formerly Choppies) in Bulawayo’s Nkulumane 12 suburb and allegedly made off with US$2,000 after firing a single shot inside the store.
According to one of the shop’s managers, the suspects, believed to be three men, struck around midmorning.
One of them reportedly fired a shot into the air to cause panic, while another stood guard at the main entrance. The manager said:
They went away with just over US$2 000. None of the employees was injured during the robbery.
The spokesperson for the Zimbabwe Republic Police in Bulawayo, Inspector Nomalanga Msebele said detectives from the homicide section were attending the scene.
