The Police in Bulawayo are on the hunt for a Honda Fit crew in Bulawayo that allegedly kidnapped two passengers and sprayed their faces with a chemical to make them fall unconscious before robbing them.

Bulawayo police spokesperson Inspector Abednico Ncube confirmed the incident.

He said, “we appeal for information that could lead to the arrest of the four suspects who were traveling in a Honda Fit. They are wanted for allegedly kidnapping a male and female passenger who boarded their car at Mbalabala turn-off.

“The suspects drove to Bulawayo City Centre where, upon arrival, they bashed the pair before robbing them of an undisclosed amount of cash and dumping them.”

A source close to the incident said a 19-year-old woman, name withheld, was picked by a Honda Fit crew that had four occupants.

“While they were on the way, the driver demanded money from the woman and her fellow passenger. Soon after that one of the crew members who was sitting in the in the front seat on the passenger’s seat sprayed the woman and her fellow passenger on their faces with an unknown liquid causing them to fall unconscious.

“After that, they robbed the pair and drove to Bulawayo and arrived at around 1130pm. They dumped them near a fuel station located at the corner of Joshua Mqabuko Street and 3rd Avenue before they drove off,” said the source.

The woman is said to have regained consciousness and phoned her boss before she reported the incident at Bulawayo Central Police Station.
