Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Armed robbers stole US$5,000 from Epworth Mission Clinic and an additional US$13,000 from Epworth Methodist Academy School on Good Friday. The clinic and school are situated next to each other.<\/p>\n

It is alleged that four unidentified men wearing balaclavas and brandishing iron bars approached security guard Takawira Mutamburiri (49).<\/p>\n

The assailants physically assaulted Takawira, binding his hands and legs with shoelaces. During the attack, they confiscated his Itel cellphone and US$25.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, they forcibly entered the clinic by breaking through the screen door using iron bars. Inside, they ransacked the room and made off with US$5,000 in cash, which had been stored in an unlocked safe.<\/p>\n

Continuing their spree, the robbers targeted Epworth Methodist Academy School. Employing iron bars, they forcibly opened both the administration and the headmaster\u2019s office doors to gain entry.<\/p>\n

Once inside, they thoroughly searched the offices and discovered a safe in the headmaster\u2019s office. They seized US$13,000 in cash before making their escape.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson in Harare Province, Inspector Luckmore Chakanza, confirmed the case to H-Metro<\/b>. He said:<\/p>\n

Police are investigating two robbery cases at a clinic and a school in Epworth. The scene was attended and a grinding blade was recovered and the total value stolen is US$18 000.<\/p>\n
