Robbers armed with knives and machetes arrested

Police have arrested four dangerous robbers who used knives and machetes to terrorise Beitbridge residents on footpaths at night. The gang was found hiding in a shack in a bushy area between the NSSA and Zesa complex.

Police officers on the scene said the gang was tracked by the canine unit after they had robbed a flea market dealer, near Dulivhadzimo stadium on Wednesday morning.

"We are still investigating to check if they are not linked to several cases of robbery around the town," said a police source.
