Police investigate armed robbery in Inyathi as thieves make off with $200

Inyathi, Matabeleland North Province - Police are currently investigating an armed robbery case that occurred on Wednesday morning, where two assailants escaped with USD$200 in cash. The incident involved a pair of robbers armed with a knife and torches who forcibly entered Mxolisi Mvundla's residence through an unlocked door, illuminating the room with their torches.

The identified suspects, Mayibongwe and Mathambo, both residents of Nkayi, confronted Mvundla in his bedroom. Mayibongwe demanded cash, but Mvundla insisted that he had no money in his possession. In response, Mathambo struck the complainant on the left eye with an unknown object and subsequently stabbed him in the left hand.
