Robbers Intercept How Mine Vehicles, Get Away With 11kg Of Gold

Armed robbers intercepted three security vehicles transporting gold from How Mine on Tuesday 04 October 2022, about 10 kilometres from the mine, and got away with 11 kgs of gold, The Sunday News reported.

How Mine is located in Matebeleland-South province, about 30 kilometres southeast of Bulawayo in southern Zimbabwe.

Sources said there was a gunfight involving security officers from a cash-in-transit truck and the suspects whose vehicles were left riddled with bullet holes.

Eyewitnesses told the Sunday News that the armed robbers were using three vehicles, a Toyota GD 6, a Nissan March and Nissan Hard boy single cab.

It is alleged, How Mine’s internal security manager (name withheld) was following the three cash-in-transit (CIT) vehicles using a Toyota Fortuner from a distance when the ambush took place.

The security manager then pursued the three armed robbers’ vehicles.

A shootout ensued and he managed to shoot the Nissan Hardbody which they then dumped while firing at the security manager.

The manager then pursued the other two vehicles (Toyota GD6 and Nissan March) until Ekusileni Hospital (Hillside) towards the Bulawayo city centre, where the armed robbers managed to escape.

How Mine’s security manager’s vehicle was left with numerous bullet holes.

A revolver gun was recovered from the Nissan Hardbody which was abandoned.

Officials at the mine sent out a distress call warning nearby communities to be on the lookout for the two getaway vehicles.

The gold which was destined for Fidelity Printers is worth about US$581 555 on international markets as of Tuesday 04 October 2022.

@jeff Jaret, these words are loosely applied to mean one and the same thing. An accused is normally one who has been araighed before the courts and is being charged with the commission of a certain crime. A suspect is one who has been arrested by Police and are still looking for evidence to take him to court. When one has been taken to court and gets convicted, he now becomes a convict. He can not be called a convict when he is still being tried in a court of law or when he is still under the Police investigations. [ QUID TEMPUS EST ? [[WHAT IS THE TIME ?]]. [ TEMPUS EST PECUNIA ].

@Bush Lawyer, the following is an extract of your comment under discussion : "Since there were recoveries of a motor vehicle and a firearm, there can be some leads which will assist investigations to arrest the accused persons". @Jeff Jaret wanted to know whether the words "accused" and "suspect" can be used interchangeably. In the context of this story, yet to be accounted robbers are referred to as "suspects still at large". Please our esteemed (bush) lawyer, you consider approaching the LSZ so that a refresher course can be arranged for you. Overall, your understanding of our law is not that bad. Keep it up WILLIAM SONBOY CHINEMBIRI - THE BUSH LAWYER.

This was a good drama. Investigations into these cases must begin from within. Normally these robberies are carried out with the assistance of someone from inside, either from security side or mine side. Secondly, their banking must not be regular.It may be done once, twice or thrice per week, but not following any partney. Since there were recoveries of a motor vehicle and a firearm, there can be some leads which will assist investigations to arrest the accused persons.

Duterere 32 minutes ago What if the Bush lawyer didn't happen to have read the CBZ merger issue? Or maybe he has seen the news but was busy to comment on it.

@Bush Lawyer, what is the difference in meaning (in legal language) between the words ACCUSED and SUSPECT ?

@kule kule it doesn't make sense... how can they leave evidence on the crime scene...a whole car which can be traced back to the criminals and the security manager...it doesn't add up.

I think the Security Manager was actually escorting the Armed Robbers His pursuit was to make sure that they get away Safely or IT'S THE STATE AGENTS

Why are we having so many robberies in our land? What gaurantees security of our assets amidst poverty-stricken security forces? The gap between the haves and the have-nots is too wide to cover by the meager salaries. We therefore have to contend with escalation of raids.
