Police in Wedza have launched a manhunt for two suspected armed robbers who stole fuel coupons worth $4 000 from Chemhanza High School on May 11.

Sources at Mashonaland East provincial police headquarters confirmed the incident to NewsDay although acting provincial police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Tendai Mwanza was unreachable for comment. Police sources told NewsDay that the suspects broke into the administration block using an unknown object and entered the headmaster, priest and accounts clerk’s offices.

They stole a satchel from the priest’s office and 3 980 litres worth of diesel coupons from the headmaster’s office. Chemhanza High School’s security guard, identified as Wilson Kamukwetsi (47), is said to have rushed to the administration block after he heard an unusual sound, and confronted the suspects as they were leaving the premises. He failed to catch them after chasing after them.
