Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>TWO armed robbers were shot dead on Sunday as police intensify the fight against armed robbery cases in the country.<\/p>\n

National police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi yesterday confirmed the incident and identified the armed robbers as Aleck Moyo (37) and Bongani Tshuma (41).<\/p>\n

He said on the day, detectives from CID Homicide Bulawayo received information that the suspects, who were wanted for armed robbery, were staying at a bushy area between Mpilo Central Hospital and Richmond.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe detectives acted on the information and conducted a raid at the area. The suspects began to fire at the detectives, leading to a shootout. Subsequently, the suspects were overpowered, leading to the recovery of a Cannic pistol with a magazine of four rounds and an Astra Revolver with two rounds,\u201d Nyathi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspects sustained gunshot wounds and were taken to United Bulawayo Group of Hospitals, where they died upon admission.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nyathi said the suspects were linked to five armed robbery cases, which occurred between March 6 and July 29 this year, including a case of robbery which occurred on May 7 at Phatalika Village, Nyangazonke Sunyetsen, where household goods, a Honda CVR vehicle registration number AEA 9034 and Toyota Surf vehicle registration number ABC 6251 were stolen.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurther, the suspects are clearing a case of robbery which occurred on July 29, 2024 at a bushy area in Old Nkulumane 12, Bulawayo, where a Honda Fit vehicle registration number ADX 7925 and three cellphones were stolen,\u201d the police boss said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Zimbabwe Republic Police reiterates that there is no going back in the fight against armed robbery cases in the country. The crack teams set up by the Zimbabwe Republic Police command are alert and will ensure that the law takes its course without fear or favour.\u201d<\/p>\n
