Police in Mashonaland Central province are hunting for five armed people who robbed a mine in Bindura last week.
The incident, which occurred at AX mine located at Simona Farm was confirmed by provincial deputy police spokesperson sergeant major Samuel Chikasha.
"The robbers tied seven mine workers and looted eight sacks of pregnant carbon, two horsepower water pumps and cell phones and went away," Chikasha said.
