Serial robber nabbed for producing gun during gold ore theft

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) have arrested suspected armed robber, Tonderai Bosha for reportedly trespassing, and stealing mine dumps and gold ore from a local mine in Goromonzi.
On the day in question, Bosha reportedly produced a firearm before pointing at the people who were at the scene.

The was reported under RRB 6023990 at Murewa Police Station.

Giving account eyewitnesses confirmed that Bosha was in the company of former Mformer Mazowe Member of Parliament, Campion Takura Mugweni.

The two men reportedly instructed workers to load mine dump and gold ore into their two tipper trucks.

“When we confronted Tonderai and asked what they were doing and who had given them instructions, he ignored us and kept telling his workers to continue loading the ore.

“We kept insisting, but then he started threatening me and the other security officers,” said the witness.

The eyewitness described a frightening escalation.

“He shouted at me, ‘young man, I will kill you.

“Don’t play with me I can do whatever I want now.

“After that, he went back to his car, pulled out a gun, and pointed it at me.”

The situation was diffused only after a quick response from the ZRP.

“We were lucky the police arrived swiftly after we called them, reporting intruders stealing from the mine,” the eyewitness added.

This incident is not Bosha’s first run-in with the law.

In 2020, Bosha was once arrested in Mudzi after leading a suspected armed robbery at Trade Invest Africa Mine.

In that incident, shots were fired, and the robbers made off with six bags of gold ore.
