Notorious robbery syndicate busted

A GANG of five suspected armed robbers was yesterday arraigned before a court following its arrest after months of terrorising residents and businesses in Harare and surrounding areas.

The accused persons, who operated in a well-co-ordinated manner, are linked to at least four violent robberies between November 2024 and February this year.

The accused, Douglas Mutenda (37), Takudzwa Nheta (24), Zephania Munyuki (38), Jephat Muganhu (20) and Allen Musarurwa (42), were arrested on Thursday last week in Waterfalls while allegedly attempting to carry out another robbery.
