Armed robbers pounce on Budiriro School, get away with US$1 600

A secondary school in Budiriro, Harare, was recently targeted by armed robbers who assaulted security guards and stole $1,600 in cash.

The Zimbabwe Republic police confirmed the case on X saying they are conducting an investigation into the incident and have urged the public to come forward with any information that could assist in solving the case.

“Police in Harare are investigating a case of robbery which occurred on 23/09/23 at a secondary school in Budiriro 1. Three unknown suspects armed with a pistol attacked four security guards who were on duty at the school before gaining entry into the bursar’s office where they broke a safe and stole US$1 600 cash. Anyone with information to report at any nearest Police Station.”

In July this year, police arrested nine armed robbers who raided Moleli High School in Zvimba before stealing more than US$2 000, 15 laptops, 29 cellphones and other items.
