THREE suspects linked to a series of armed robberies in Bulawayo and Gwanda between July and November this year are now behind bars.
Police spokesperson Paul Nyathi identified the suspects as Moketsi Ndlovu (18), Respect Khumalo (22) and Onias Tembo (19).
Nyathi said the suspects were arrested on Monday at their hideout in Luveve, Bulawayo following a shoot-out.
Police recovered a 9 mm FN Browning pistol with three live rounds as well as eighty empty cartridges from the suspects.
“The suspects are being linked to three armed robbery cases including a case of robbery which occurred on October 1, 2024, along Jungle Road, Harrisville, Bulawayo where a Toyota Fun Cargo, registration number AEA 5078 was stolen after the suspects hired the vehicle from Bulawayo CBD to Harrisville,” Nyathi said.
On November 24, they stole a Ford Ranger vehicle, registration number AFN 6255 at Chigumira Business Centre in Bulawayo.
The vehicle was recovered at a railway crossing in Spitzkop, Gwanda.
He appealed for information that may lead to the arrest of another suspect, Elvis Charakupa (41), who is on the run.
