An armed robber raided a ZB Bank Victoria Falls branch on Wednesday afternoon and got away with an undisclosed amount of money believed to be more than US$100 000.
The armed robber walked into the banking hall pretending to be a client and was wearing a wool hat and a face mask, the Chronicle reported.
Unsuspecting bank staff watched as the suspect pretended to be completing bank slips until other clients left and that is when he pulled out a gun.
The suspect then proceeded to the counter and threatened bank tellers with the gun, ordering everyone, to lie down and they complied.
It is said that the suspect demanded cash which he loaded into a satchel that he was carrying and walked out of the banking hall. A source told the Chronicle:
The suspect entered the banking hall as a client and was still inside when the bank closed. He threatened the security guard who gave in and he then went to the tills where pointed the gun and demanded cash which he loaded into a satchel and walked out through the back door.
The suspect reportedly walked away after leaving the bank premises and started running and people outside did not suspect anything until staff from the bank came out and reported that they had been robbed.
Pictures of the robbery incident started circulating on social media platforms after being captured on CCTV.

Bank employees including the guardsare supposed to comply in robbery situations and should try to give description of the robber for post robbery investigations
But that guard was too relaxed bcoz usually zvinoitika pakuvhara nekuvhurwa kwaro so he was supposed to monitor last clients and assist them.He could have picked that guy,,,Isu vedu havatorerwe zvechihwai . Plus tellers should have handed over what we call decoinz that's fake money kept under tellers cubicles for such events

USD is far little as compared to Mnangagwa's loan of USD 500,000 to his ministers .Keep on robbing them banks as means of affirmative sharing of wealth.

as far as security is concerned this bank is backward. staff and guard kurara pabasa. does this bank have back offices where others in the bank could have done an alarm. vashandi vose were saving customers. if I was a police l could beat all the workers and the guard. if I was the bank owner ndaidzinga vashandi vose even they could provide good reasoning

Govt shld take this trend of robberies very seriously, we have lot millions..Mass recruitment of police is needed,, use of modern equipment needed like drones, scan machines needed, harsher sentences for those possessing unlicensed fire arms and robbers, put in place mechanisms or reduce tax for banks so that in turn banks reduces unnecessary charges like 3% on usd deposits!!!

Ko Ma access scanner box failed to detect a gun from this lone robber as he entered the bank. What about panic buttons, no teller managed to press one. Something fishy!... But Vic Falls is so small with only 2 highways going out of town, by mounting Rd blocks on Byo and Kazungula highways good results are expected

Remember many years back Mugabe promised the country a share of the wealth but since the promise failed affirmative action is required to distribute that wealth acquitable and the only way to do it is to use whatever means available.
Mnangagwa is giving his ministers USD 500,000, USD350.000 for deputy ministers and USD 400,000 Temba Mliswa and his friends.USD 200 for civil slaves and USD .for people of no value(povo)

Most banks employ commissionaires who act as ushers or general assistants to the tellers, instead of security guards.
