The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP)has confirmed the arrest of eleven people over an armed robbery that occurred on 14th September 2021 at Knockmalock Farm, Norton.
In a statement, police national spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said police had arrested Tendai Munson Ndlovu (43), Kudakwashe Adoni (28), Kosam Phiri (36), Svinurai Marandu (29), Louis Munyamani (29), Tauya Nyanzou (45), Tozivepi Kuyangamara (47), Friday Tembo (43), Pious Ncube (44), Abraham Muzamba (31) and Christopher Danda (37) for an armed robbery case which occurred on 14th September 2021 at Knockmalock Farm, Norton.
On 14th September 2021, the suspects went to the Zvinavashe family farm in Norton where they attacked the complainants before stealing two cell phones and three AK 47 Rifles.
In September, police refuted reports by some media houses that they had arrested the suspects. Back then, Zim Raider claimed that Nyathi had confirmed the arrest of 11 suspects while four others still remain at large after escaping from the scene.
According to Zim Raider, the terror suspects who have been carrying out undercover operations at 2345 Nharira, Norton, were arrested by the CID anti-terror unit following a tip-off from members of the public.
The report identified the “terror suspects” as Thembani Ndlovu (33), Philani Mkwananzi (29), Mtholisi Ncube (26), Phumulani Sibanda (26), Melissa Gamano (23), Tanya Mauto (27), Christine Juta (31), Simon Makonese (24), Reason Jera (40), Clemence Kasanga (39) and Tendai Mafunga (22).
ZRP back then refuted the claims adding that the rationale behind the article was unknown.
